Entebbe (2018)
Directed by Jose Padilha this film based on real events stars Rosamund Pike, Daniel Bruhl, Eddie Marsan and Lior Ashenazi. German revolutionaries team up with Palestinians to hijack a plane in 1976 in the hopes of forcing Israel to release prisoners.
This is a mostly well made film that does a good job of covering historical events, I could have done without the artistic wanky inclusion of the dance number and more spotlight on the Palestinians involved. The main thing this film does for me is highlight just how much Delta Force (1986) ripped off history. A good, if not great watch that does highlight the pressures those behind the scenes faced.
3/5
