Review of 7 Days in Entebbe (2018) by Dj I — 18 Mar 2018
This is a good film albeit with a major flaw. The film does an excellent job of setting up the characters. From the terrorists, to the Israeli govt officials, to the soldiers, you know the who, what, and why's.
You're in their head and know their fears, hopes, and motives. The film really succeeds in that aspect as well as in setting up the political backdrop. The film judged, but didnt take sides. Every political stance got hit which is fine by me.
The failure comes at the conclusion. The entire dance routine mixed in with the raid was truly anti climatic. They spent all this time setting up the character's emotions then at the most heightened time, abandon them for a dance routine.
More attention and accuracy of the raid itself and the emotions it produced, would've been a difference maker. Not a bad movie but not a great one either.
