    Physically impossible not to. The people who make movies are flat out incapable of making a movie based on historical events that doesn’t get screwed up.
    You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.

    There is that. Some are just at a disturbing level versus making it a bit more entertaining level.

    A review in the St. Louis paper said that the movie "pulls off the difficult trick of making terrorism boring." Apparently, there is dancing in the movie.

    You might be better off rewatching "Raid on Entebbe".

    Apparently, they have. The reviews are mostly along the lines of "boring", "dull" and "unfocused". And, for some reason, there is dancing.

    24% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not quite Gigli.

    It's not in wide release, only 838 theaters, but it's not pulling in very much per theater.

    Usually the regular audience likes things that the critics don't, but not so much this time.

    My guess is that if you want to see it, you'll have to wait for it to come to Redbox, a cable movie channel, or the $5 bin at Wally Woild.

    "Raid on Gigli" could be interesting...

    It's playing here at one of the Metroplex theatres. We're going tomorrow, with low expectations. I don't know how you can take the quintessential hostage rescue story, one that's full of real life drama and intrigue, and make it as exciting as plain yogurt, but it seems as if they've done it.
    We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......

    Not having seen it yet, my guess is... They watered it down so as not to offend anyone, or to make the Israelis look too good?
