Disappointing propaganda

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2013)

This overlong film is so visually ugly, monotonous and repetitive that I only watched it to the end because I wanted to see how it portrays the Lillehammer incident, in which the Mossad murdered an innocent man mistaken for one Ali Hassan Salameh. The characters repeatedly say that Ali Hassan Salameh is their main target and two failed attempts on his life are depicted, so everything seems to point toward the Lillehammer case as the dramatic highlight and turning point. To my surprise, it is not mentioned at all. All we get is the end credits telling us that Ali Hassan Salameh was killed by the Mossad in 1979 (not mentioning the other casualties of the hit).
Why? The only answer I can think of is that the filmmakers did not want to show Israeli agents killing an innocent man, even by mistake. They wanted to show the mighty Mossad as capable of everything except mistakes, yet its crafty agents so humane that they suffer heavy stress for killing terrorists (in reality the agents involved denied any such thoughts). This omission makes the whole film a piece of pro-Israel propaganda, not that such a thing ever was a surprise from Hollywood.
