Marta Barber Miami Herald Here was the making of a dark thriller that unfortunately director Omri Levy doesn't know how to sustain. May 6, 2004 Full Review Oz eFilmCritic.com While this Middle East lesser-Virgin Suicides sells the period well, it fails to deliver on any other front.

Audience Member Set around the Air France hijacking in 1976, this is a sweet coming-of-age drama about an Israeli girl who kidnaps an Arab boy with her friends in retaliation for the hijacking. It was a bit of nostalgia for me, as the Six Million Dollar Man kept popping up as a reference - on a T-shirt, and on a TV. "Steve Austin, astronaut, a man barely alive ... We can rebuild him, we have the technology." Jeez, I hear Jim Carrey is going to do that role in a remake. *Shudder* Decent production values and good performances, particularly by the girl's mother. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
