This is a story so gripping that few fictitious spy novels have even come close to it . It is so unbelievable that If someone had told me that this is not a true story, I would have believed them in an instant. There are just two central characters in the whole movie. And some dramatized scenarios involving a few others. There is quite a bit of actual footage, too, interspersed between these two people narrating events as they occurred.
This is a cat-and-mouse game, where the players are real, and the stakes are too high. Too high for us to even fathom about. This will give you tantalizing glimpses on the internal working of one of the best intelligence agencies in the world, and for that reason alone, it becomes gold class, instantly . I will not reveal the actual story, as that will be blasphemy. Shin bet (The Israeli security agency) and Hamas are the tag words here.
We are given glimpses of the weight both these men had to carry on their shoulders. Try putting yourself in either persons shoes. It is unimaginable. Each and every choice of theirs had dire consequences, being in the positions they were in. They carved their paths listening to their conscience, morals and justifications of 'right' and 'wrong'. And those paths were so radical and unexepected, that has made all the difference. That is why this is an almost- unbelievable story.
This is a masterclass in psychology, bonding, humanity with a message of hope. We understand some mind-blowing facets of intelligence agencies and how they work. After watching this masterpiece, we realize that nothing is 'predestined'. We are who we chose to be. We make our own choices. We shape our life, our path, our fight and our destiny. Choice. The problem is choice.
If you're interested in the Israel - Palestine situation , spies, the history of Israel, their security division and their previous exploits, and what exactly is going on in the Middle East, you will revere this movie a lot!! Otherwise you may not appreciate this story so much. I was on the edge of my seat when watching this riveting story. Throughout the viewing, I uttered many expletives, too. Some moments were so unbelievable to digest. This was a truly brilliant story to know about. Thanks to Nadav Schirman for bringing it to the big screen!
