Powerful

Silly me. I thought these reviews were supposed to be about a movie, not a means to dispense convoluted political and racist ideology.

This film was so good that I almost felt like applauding at the conclusion. But considering the subject matter, that would have been rather inappropriate.

The film was taut and suspenseful, even tho you pretty much suspected how it would end. The performances were all on point. Even the subtitling was well done.

Yes, the subject was depressing. But it was a real life story. We can't alter the facts. But you can certainly appreciate the quality, and the message.

Great movie on a true sad story

This film is the story of a young innocent Jew who was kidnapped by a gang of 25 people because they believed that all Jews are rich.

He was tortured for 24 days.

The neighborhood did not say anything.

The police were unable to find at time this poor young man.

We have a duty to remember this story so that she does not happen again.

The actors are in the film are wonderful and it will be difficult not to shed a tear.

Caution: Do not Listen false criticisms of people who have not even seen the movie and says bad things about this film only because it speaks of a Jew.

Has promise but in the end falls flat

Notwithstanding if this (or something like this actually happened) it falls flat as for one there seems to be no cliché left out, and then in the end it's a 'message' movie - and message movies don't work. Both, the good and the bad parties in this film are very one-dimensionally portrayed - the film leaves on empty on an emotional and also intellectual level. It could have been a much better film.

Realistic depiction of hatred and disregard for life

I recently viewed this movie on Netflix and was struck by the impression that a movie with a similar plot and circumstances would probably not be produced in the US or the UK. Kudos to the makers of this film who had the courage to tell a true story that most people probably were never aware of and where the characters involved do not fit a preferred template. Most foreign-made movies I've seen on Netflix often are superior to American films in both content and acting, primarily because they are devoid of Hollywood scripting/acting where characters mechanically spew their lines with no reflection of authentic human character or realism.

Don't let your political bias color your opinion about this film.

I didn't realize that there were so many anti-Jewish people on IMDb who could not get passed the fact that the victim was Jewish. I would feel badly toward any type of victim out there, Arab, Jewish, Black, Asian, or even White.

I agree with the person who wrote that people were judging the film on its merit without even watching it. I thought that it was very well acted. It managed to be suspenseful even to people who knew the outcome of the events, which is a difficult feat.

If you have a chance see this film which will give you a slice of history.
