Review of 7 Days in Entebbe (2018) by Ericka C — 15 Jul 2018
THE CONCEPT IS GOOD, BUT THE STORY GETS LOST IN TOTALLY NON IMPORTANT CHARACTERS, SUCH AS A NORMAL SOLDIER, HIS WIFE AND HER DANCES!. I TRULY EXPECTED A GREAT FILM SUCH AS "RAID IN ENTEBBE" WITH DETAILED PLANNING, MILITARY PRACTICE AND AN AMAZING MILITARY RESCUE OPERATION WITH MANY DETAILS. BUT INSTEAD, DURING THE MILITARY OPERATION, IT SHOWS MORE OF THIS NON RELATED TO THE STORY WOMAN AND HER GROUP DANCE PERFORMANCES OVER AND OVER, WHICH IS KINDA ANNOYING AND SENSELESS. A BIT OF THAT IN THE BEGINNING OR END WOULD HAVE BEEN OK. BUT MIXING THE ACTUAL MILITARY RESCUE WITH PERFORMING DANCERS -WHILE ARTISTIC AND GREAT DANCERS-, IT SPOILS ALL THE MILITARY ACTION AND DRAMA, WHICH SHOULD BE THE FOCUS OF THE WHOLE STORY...
THERE IS ALSO BARELY ANY MENTION ABOUT THE MAIN CHARACTERS AND THE FALLEN HERO OF THE WHOLE OPERATION YONI (YONATAN NETANYAHU) , AND ALSO FAILS TO SHOW OR MENTION IDI AMIN'S RETALIATION ON THE KENYAN CITIZENS FOR THEIR SUPPORT TO THE ISRAELIS.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT MOVIE IF ONLY SHOWING MORE DETAILS ABOUT ALL MAIN TRUE CHARACTERS AND MORE ABOUT THE ACTUAL OPERATION...
SORRY, BUT I STICK TO THE FILM "RAID IN ENTEBBE" OF 1976.
