I would have given it 7 stars for the plot and idea, but this movie so very messy. I just can't help but giving it five. The characters lack depth, the scenery is very messy and the plot is just so tangled you just find it hard to keep track of the conversations and all the events that take place in the movie. This is generally a fun and refreshing sci fi thriller that deals with a shady future and it that sense the setup does look gray and depressing. The problem is with the characters who lack depth and it's not easy to figure out their background - with messy flashbacks not being as clear as they perhaps were meant to be. The story is somewhat tangled and has a few unexplained holes with conversations that are vague and unclear and characters behaving unreasonably.
It's a movie that deserves a good word but somehow the mess just ruins the party and when the movie ends, you just have this empty feeling of "oh it ended... I didn't even notice it until the credits appeared".

Sorry to say but I've never seem something so far from resembling Israel, as this movie is.
Let's start with the fact that we don't ride camels here. We have the same cars as in the USA or Europe. Secondly, we don't live in a desert of sand nor does Israel look like an Egyptian market from year 1300. The movie found a dozen of old, preserved spots in Jerusalem where they preserved the ancient city and presented it as if that's how Israel looks like. Kind'a like shooting a movie in the grand-canyon and saying that the USA is one big desert!
The shots of soldiers and police were also fake clips and the siren sound was taken from some 3rd world country because police sirens in Israel are identical to US sirens.
Needless to say, the hospital and other places simply don't look like that and the hotel shot seems to have been taken in Bombai rather than Israel.
I really advise that you browse through the internet and see how Israel really looks like before thinking we're riding camels and dig for roots to earn a living.
As for the plot - it was one of the most silly, stupid, racist and prejudiced plots I've ever witnessed, distorting reality and combining clips taken from totally different contexts into an imaginary dictatorship that simply isn't even logical.
A real stinker!
