    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Engineer' has received mixed reviews, with praises for its engaging portrayal of true events and authentic depiction of Israeli reality. The compelling narrative and realistic atmosphere are highlighted, especially the cast, including actors from 'FAUDA.' However, criticisms include poor execution, a disjointed plot, lack of character depth, and subpar acting. Issues with authenticity, such as characters speaking English instead of their native languages, detract from realism. Additionally, pacing, direction, and production quality are commonly criticized.

    Stinks!

    This film is pretty bad. The actors look as if they are not even trying to act. The story is super slow and seems like it is wasting time just to get the characters to different scenes. There is not much action at all and the action which is on the screen has close ups of the actors faces and a lot of shaking which makes it hard to make out what is going on most of the time. It is a film in which you would not want to watch if you knew it would be of such lack of quality. I would not recommend this movie to anyone I know. The only reason I watched it because the lead actor usually does good work, I am afraid that is no longer the case.

    Never seen such a important issue like the Israel/Palestine conflict treated só poorly

    Never seen such a important issue like the Israel/Palestine conflict treated so poorly and ultimately in such a disrespectful manner.

    The acting is appalling and the script seems to have been written by amateurs, with more plot holes than a suisse cheese. Saddens me to see a good actor like Emile Hirsch envolved with such a bad movie.

    Movies that adress real life situations have the responsability to work as educational tool for the audience, but this one goes in the opposite direction.

    All the victims of this horrible war that lasts for decades deserved a better homage.

    I love cinema, this is not cinema.

    So disappointing...

    I love Emile Hirsch and he was outstanding in Into The Wild, Lone Survivor and Alpha Dog...but this film was so poorly done and characters were not cast appropriately. Emile looked like a fish out of water trying to portray this character. I would expect so much more from him because I know he's talented. The acting was some of the worst, most lackluster and boring that I've seen to date. I could not even finish the movie. I fell asleep halfway through and I never fall asleep watching movies. Poorly filmed, poorly directed, poorly executed. This story had potential to be interesting and gripping .... but it failed miserably. I would not recommend.

    two words : stale and boring

    Watching a complete mess of a movie , felt like i watched some kids with a handheld camera shooting a movie.

    This is the absolute pinnacle of bad story, bad dialogue, bad editing, bad plot.. I mean, I'm saying 'bad' like there actually is any of these elements within the film. The editing makes no sense, it seems randomly cut with continuity errors.

    This movie is just incredible that it was made, I didn't think it was possible to make a film so bad. It's like it's a new genre, just a bad movie. Sub plots get brought up out of no where in this movie and never get brought up again. Characters get brought up and again never mentioned. The script, story, characters, editing, setting, everything was just wrong with this movie.

    Despicably bad

    Wow this sounded interesting but what a let down. This movie has Robert Davi and that's it. Everything else about it has the look and feel of a bad student film. Absolutely ridiculous. A complete embarrassment to the entertainment industry. The direction is just awful and most of the acting, Robert Davi excluded, is dreadful. And not even fun and campy bad. Unwatchable bad. Coulda been a good movie but it isn't. Effects, direction, even the score is a joke. Without question one of the worst movies I have ever seen and possibly the worst movie I've seen. Zero chemistry between the characters and a cast of stereotypes right out of central casting.
