Trivia
Ari Levinson (Chris Evans) says 'no one knows what they speak in Malta', Malta is bilingual with English and Maltese both being official languages. Maltese is a Semitic language most closely related to Maghrebi Arabic but also related to Hebrew, the language which the agents speak.

Malta is currently the only EU state to have an official language of Semitic origin.

Goofs
The small "computer" on CIA Agent Bowen's desk is actually a TDD (Telecommunication Device for the Deaf). This model, Krown 200 LVD, wasn't introduced until the late 1980s.

Quotes
Sammy Navon: I love you man. You're a lucky guy, but when the luck runs out, then you gotta have a plan and you never have one. So I'm out.

This isn't about politics or religion, it is about being human.

A tense throwback to the thrillers of the 1970s, Red Sea is about the aided exodus of Jews from Ethiopia by Israel in the late 70s. The script, direction and cast, main and supporting, are pretty much faultless and Chris Evans proves, without doubt, that there is life beyond the MCU; the boy can act. I do question political and religious bias, especially in light of Israel's record on human rights; however, I do not question heart and entertainment value. A great film. See it.
