Movie Reviews of Operation Thunderbolt

Movie Review: Excellent! Still Gives You Chills!
Summary: 5 Stars

I cannot add to the reviews already written except to say that I too was there, and remember this vividly. I am so glad I decided to purchase this DVD. Don't expect the Hollywood version. Expect to be awe struck by the planning and execution of this mission. BB Netanyahu's brother was a great man. It is only ashame that we had to lose even 1 Israeli life, and it was his.
