A decade before the infamous Cannon Group millions dollars craps of the eighties, hiring SylvesterStallone or the last Charles Bronson's movies, this movie speakS of the amazing performance of Sayaret Maktal ( Israeli special forces, the equivalent of SEALS or SAS) on Entebbe airport in 1976. Israeli movie industry could not ignore, neglect to make such a film, and Menahem Golan was the most bankable Israeli director on the international market at this time. It is efficient, never boring but nothing to do with what a director like Paul Greengrass could have done with this topic; remember his UNITED 93 or even CAPTAIN PHILIPS. And I also prefer Jose Padilla's feature made in 2017, showing the events from another angle. With also a unusual aesthetics approach, though the opening scene of OPERATION THUNDERBOLT is not bad either and could have inspired Padilla's film opening sequence too. Klaus Kinski is excellent here as one of the terrorists.
