Takes 'exploitation war films' to a new low
9 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
There must have been some positive sentiment evident when the film's makers conceived this project. But like so many international co- productions it was probably mostly moving money out of the participant's countries. Because it's so bad it's an insult to everybody who died in that war.

Watching it in Hebrew (and understanding nothing) would be better for English speakers than the gruesome dubbed dialogue they're served up with.

As for 'action' it is acutely restrained, if that's the right word, by a near-zero budget for ordnance - to the point where the heroes are defending their position against attacking Egyptian armor using an RPG, firing it WITHOUT the rocket propelled grenade! And exploding helicopters - well it was a nice idea on paper.

You can only imagine how Israeli veterans just returned home from the conflict must have reacted seeing it. Anyone with PTSD would not have gone for a start. And the rest would have taken it as 'light comic relief' it's so laughable.

Record from late night schlock channels because your money is better spent elsewhere
