I have no idea what the intended goal of this movie is. What did the director want us to see ? The Raid ? The motives behind the actions of the hijackers ? The political debate in Israel ? It does neither of those things very well.
Because of the way the raid is presented it feels like a real let down after an already very slow build up. What's the connection between the raid and the dance ? The soldier and his girlfriend ? That would be thin. Since we haven't seen both of them very much throughout the movie there is also no investment in the characters. And, since they already admitted in the opening credits that there are things added for dramatization you can't take this as a history lesson either.
So, in conclusion I can only say: this was dissapointing.

I have no idea where they thought they were going with this.
It could have been an excellent political thriller portraying one of the most brilliant commando raids in history but instead all we get is some artsy soup of a political commentary.
The build-up to the actual raid is 97% of the movie and then when it actually happens [spoiler]it's intermixed with a horrible modern dance routine[/spoiler].
Most meh movie of 2018 thus far.

The German accent was great by Rosamund Pike, love her. Not gonna lie she is the reason why I watched this movie. Great, insteresting story I thought there were more action but it is an okay film. The directing is creates a weirly calm atmosphere for me , and operates with parallels in the film. AND THE HEBREWS SINGING WAS EPIC SHEHRAB SHEHBAW UBAWA DE ES SIADA something like this loved it good vibe.

Weird! I was looking forward to an exciting ending after an average build up and then suddenly Billy Elliot came on waving his arms around after self flagellation.

What should have been a gripping tale never translated to the screen. This was slowly paced, with little dramatic heft. For the most part, I was really quite bored.

I agree, the dance routine was really bad. It would have been better without it.

If _7 Days in Entebbe_ had been directed as well as the actual raid on Entebbe it certainly would've been more successful.

As it was, this recreation of the storming of the Ugandan airport in 1976 by Israeli Defense Forces to liberate Jewish hostages taken in a German-Palestinian hijacking suffers from too much hesitation, poor planning and lack of focus. The melodramatic speeches and insistence on including modern dance sequences (!?) make this film miss its mark.

Watch _Argo_ again or, even better, _One Day in September_, the far more exciting documentary about the Israeli hostage crisis during the 1972 Munich Olympics.
