Who is kidding who here

Rating: 3/10 (15 January 2006)

I am shocked by the chorus of praises being sung here. What if an unknown director made this film...with its ridiculous ending that went on far too long. Did the movie not end when the assassin abandons Isreal for his only real "family" now residing in Brooklyn? What was the need for the sex scene flashback? I hope no man having sex is obsessing about a hijacking he was not actually present for. Why the obsession? And what was the point of ending on a shot of the twin towers if not to ensure the audience hate Arabs? The editing is trite, a bad attempt to make us feel we are indeed back in the 1970's...and likely an afterthought as the shooting style is not as 70's... I do not remember any hand held camera movement in those cool 70's film that inspired this retro look, so there again, this film fails The end spoils all.
