Two big Aussie actors( Eric Bana and Geoffery Rush) are in this movie which gives me even more reason to go see it. The story alone had already had me marking this down as a must-see film!

I finally got to see it...after all this time.

It is an amazing movie. Long, but well worth the time spent watching it!

For the movie to be even between the both groups... it seemed to more favor the Jews.

If you haven't seen it, you should. thumbsup.gif

I thought for sure, they were going to blow up that little girl by the phone bomb. ph34r.gif

When they went on the boat to kill that women agent, their little gun thingys where insanely awesome. tongue.gif I don't have a clue what they are but they were wicked looking.

laugh.gif Well, Eric Bana is the main so you see quite a lot of him. He's a great actor in my opinion. I think I liked him most in Troy, as Hector - Prince of Troy. thumbsup.gif

You should watch 'Chopper'. Easily his best performance and it's the roll that got him recognized in hollywood

Well, I heard somewhere that Steven Spielberg was going to make the movie as equal as he could between both sides. Hard to do, yes... and in a couple scenes he did such a thing but out of the whole movie, it leaned more towards the Jews, I thought.

I've seen the movie as well, I kind of liked it, for the simple fact that it had tons of Israeli actors in it and it was hilarious to see them acting in an holywoodian movie tongue.gif.

It was pretty long though... and it attmepted in some lame way to show the two sides as equal, by attempting to make Mossad as targetting it's own people.

You could also see Spielberg's own identity crisis quite clear in this movie - between being a Jew, but not neccesarily being pro-Israeli. There were some scenes where he attempted to make Jews look very good and moral, while at the same time emphasizing that Israel isn't all that good...

I doubt if many understood some of the inner jokes in this movie, quite understanble to Israelis (like the part where Avner is being called "Yekke" by the Mossad's clerc... and the obssesion that the Mossad recruiter had with baqlawas tongue.gif).

Overall though, as I said in the beginning, I kind of liked it.
A good piece of fictional conspiracy work thumbsup.gif.
