Over long and mostly lame...strangely hollow and unsatisfying.

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2006)

I cannot believe that something as obviously "b" grade as this has received as many positive reviews. It HAS to be very unlikely to win anything at Oscar time.
This film was apparently rushed out...it looks it! Is this really directed by Spielberg...it strains credulity. Israeli film students maybe? It does have some merit in it's attempt at portrayal of human weaknesses on both sides, yet it seems strangely lifeless and contrived in most scenes. Mostly hollow characters with shallow lines...terrorism and revenge are disturbing and messy business though. We get that part ;>(
By the too-long awaited end, the major point appears to be, as said in the movie, "Don't mess with the Jews" BTW...anybody agree that guy Bana would play a killer Jim Morrison? Save your money and wait for the $1.99 special on a rainy day.
