This movie is rally bad, it justify the act of terrorism teying to humanize the terrorist its an espectacular operation its sad to see how the makers told the story missing some important facts that happened in real life and the disindormacion about the conflict and the origin of the conflict. Really sad to see somerhing like this.

First, it's boring. The hijacking happens in the first five or so minutes of the movie, and the rescue happens in the last twenty. In the eighty or so minutes in between, very little happens. One hostage gets beat up, but that's mostly off camera, and there's about two minutes of interesting banter between the lead hijacker and the flight engineer, but that's it. I can't even count how many times I checked the time just to see how far we were from the climax.Second, the character development of the hostages is almost non-existent. Let's see...you have the guy who gets beat up because the hijackers think he's a spy. You have a guy who rips off a Star of David necklace and pockets it at the outset. You have an old woman who gets confused about where she is and starts freaking out. You have a couple who get outraged when Idi Amin threatens their children. You have a pilot who orders his crew to stay until all hostages are released, and the flight stewardess who cries because of it. You have a flight engineer who thinks engineers are more important than revolutionaries. You have a woman who lies about being pregnant to be released early, and takes with her a tiny amount of intelligence about the situation. You have a nun who didn't want to leave the hostages but was forced to any way. I literally described ALL character development of the hostages right there. If any of these situations sound interesting, are they ever followed up on? For instance, did the hijackers freak out when they found the necklace in that guy's pocket? Was there a suspenseful scene where Amin was about to follow through on his threats against those children but they were saved in the nick of time? Nope, and nope. The most follow up that we get is that the flight engineer makes a face at the lead hijacker as he's about to massacre them, causing a moment of hesitation, which allows the IDF baddies to storm in and stop it. I'm not joking or exaggerating.Third, while the rescue was successful on the whole, is there any attention paid to the innocents who perished? Nope. Jean-Jacques Mimouni stood up during the raid and was killed by IDF who thought he was a hijacker, but was that shown? Nope. Dora Bloch went to the hospital and was left behind when the rescue occurred, so Amin had her murdered. Was this shown? Nope. These two, and two others get no more than a caption at the end saying they died- nothing about how. They do show the death of Yoni Netanyahu, but it's really glossed over. And instead of developing him as a character, and showing how he balanced his work and love life in his final days, they focus on some fictional IDF dude and his dancing girlfriend (not going to mention the stupid overlay of a dance sesh during the climactic scene). I actually thought that fictional dude was Yoni until close to the end of the film.Fourth, decades ago, people were warning that Amin got off easy because western media portrayed him as an oafish buffoon and a clown, instead of as the dangerous, murderous lunatic that he was. He fed people to crocodiles, ate several himself, invaded his neighboring countries, and exiled entire groups of people based on dreams, but in this movie, he smilingly explains to his guests all of his titles and how awesome he is. He also comforts a nun as he forces her onto a bus to leave Entebbe. He says some children will be killed, but that's as evil as his portrayal gets.Fifth, people are correct to say this film is pro-Palestinian because much of the bland fluff between the opening and the climax consists of the ethical dilemmas of the hijackers, particularly the two Germans. How does it look for Germans to possibly kill Jews? This is mentioned time and time again. Kuhlmann, the female German, is upset that her idol died in a German jail, and she struggles with this throughout the movie. Whatever. Honestly, even the Palestinians are mostly just faceless baddies. Take whatever viewpoint on that conflict that you want, but this doesn't make an interesting or watchable film.I'm done now. This is about all I can take of talking about this stupid movie.

Lousy film, humanizes terrorist, Jose Padila has absolutely 0 talent. How do you take one of the most exciting events of the 20th century and turn it into a snooze fest is Senior Padilha's little secret that I do not care to know. Tension level is low, characters as flat a a rug and nothing i mean nothing to fall in love with.

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.
