That's all I have to say, finally an Israeli film with some noticable budget and they blew it. Having been from Israel and a filmmaker as well all I can say is that I was extremely disappointed with the film. First of all- the story takes place in a war, yet it is never felt by the audience that the characters are in any kind of danger. The camera work is so lame that I was ashamed. The beginning of the film tried to show the shock and lack of readyness by the Israelis to the surprise attack on Yom Kippur, yet the scene was made so bad that we could not know and get the feeling of what really happened mainly because tight shots were used and there was no way of establishing what happened. Towards the end there is a scene that they are struggling in the mud to take out an injured soldier, the scene is shot in one long (ver long) take it is unrealistic, I served in the Israeli military it takes about 30 seconds to evacuate an injured soldier, that scene took ten minutes and did not show the training of the Israeli military which is the best in the world.
And now for the story- I understand that the story is based on a real one but everyone has a story (a war story in Israel) and most of them are not interesting, there was NO character development, very boring dialogues and no real relations established between the characters To sum up if you got 2 hours to spend go see other films you will be disappointed Waste of time
