Movie Reviews of Raid on Entebbe
Movie Review: Well Done Account of an Important Historical Event
Summary: 5 Stars
"Raid on Entebbee" was released shortly after are more hastily released version recounting these events came out -- "Victory on Entebbee." It" is hard to say which version is better (I like them both). I suppose this is simply a matter of taste.
This version of the audacious rescue of hostages held when highjackers working for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine boarded and high-jacked an Air France plane stopped in Athens, enroute to Paris from Tel-Aviv, recounts accurately the events and response of the Israeli government to another example of the outrageous terror war being perpetrated against Israel (and now many other countries). It is fast moving, action packed, and has an excellent musical score. Peter Finch stars as Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin, with Charles Bronson portraying General Dan Shomron.
This version, as the previous one, show the difficult Israel Cabinet deliberations held to decide on a top-secret military raid on the Jewish Sabbath, by expert commandos; a difficult and daring operation carried out over 2500 miles from home, rather than give into terrorist demands. The outcome, of course, is well known, with only one commando killed (the operation commander Jonathan Netanyahu, brother of Prime Minister in waiting Benjamin Netayahu), a very small number of hostages, and several several soldiers under the then dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin". Well done and interesting docu-drama that treads the line between true history and historical fiction. Highly recommended to lift the spirits of anyone looking for an actual historical victory over the terrorists.
