...an unmitigated disaster of mostly awe-inspiring proportions.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 31, 2021

Takes a significant world event and reduces it to melodramatic pap and speechifying. And the dance. Don't forget the dance.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 4, 2021

The biggest pitfalls are surely the characters and their positioning within the story.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 5, 2020

A very average film about a rather remarkable episode in history.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 22, 2020

The filmmakers seem committed to sticking to the facts, without exaggerating the drama in any way, which works incredibly well with this particular story.

Portuguese action director José Padilha (Elite Squad) generates a hurtling momentum, especially as the raid takes shape, but his dialogue scenes are indifferently staged.

The only question is, why would anyone pay good money to remake a Charles Bronson 온라인카지노추천 movie from the 1970s, and do it so badly at that? For that, I have no answers.

Brazilian Director José Padilha creates, with meticulous detail, the tension and fear of the terrorists as well as the passengers, but his intention to humanize both doesn't completely connect.

7 Days in Entebbe is absorbing for much of its running time, maintaining interest as it cuts back and forth between the terrorists, the hostages, and the government suits. It's only during the home stretch that the picture largely falls apart.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 21, 2019

While stylish in places, the film flops in every conceivable way in tackling weighty philosophical elements against one of the most divisive political situations of the last century.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 21, 2019

I think the movie did a good job informing me... However, it can seriously drag and a choice to involve interpretative dance did not work at all.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 28, 2019

Though not a lengthy film, it's too excruciating a wait to get to the good parts of 7 Days in Entebbe.

| Feb 14, 2019

Fails to capture the emotional and physical toil that seven days in that pressure cooker would do to a person -- this feels more like an intense couple of hours than a protracted siege.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 13, 2019

The only unique element that Padilha brings to this workmanlike thriller is an unexpected obsession with politically charged interpretive dance.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 12, 2018

On paper this has it all - a plane hijacking, an ideological conflict and a sprinkling of Idi Amin for good measure - but this action drama almost skips over the action and is lacking the drama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 7, 2018

[Entebbe] misses an opportunity to supplement its vision with a voice.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 5, 2018

...high production values and a great cast...

| Aug 28, 2018

Of the "seven days" in the title, days 1 and 7 are considerably more exciting than 2 through 6.

| Jul 13, 2018

Admirably attempts to tell an important and complex historical event in the context of an accessible thriller.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 14, 2018

[The film] is superficial in every aspect... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 6, 2018
