A brave and ambitious film unafraid of wrestling with some very difficult questions, 7 Days In Entebbe is let down by an oddly-executed finale and dialogue that is clunky and expository a bit too often for comfort.
Gus Edgar reports from the Berlinale in Berlin with reviews of Pig, Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot, Season of the Devil, 7 Days in Entebbe and U-July 22.
7 Days In Entebbe is inspired by the true events of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight en route from Tel Aviv to Paris, and the most daring rescue mission ever attempted.
h, another remake. I know this one was announced some time ago already but I haven’t had the chance to reflect on it yet. I discussed the original RoboCop lengthily in my thesis, to argue how our modern world is turning into the world often portrayed in dystopian sci-fi, in this case regarding the (intended) use of robots and the like in law enforcement.
