      Audience Member Kirk Douglas' character doesn't quite get under your skin like it could with this very deep post-war trauma drama, but it does get its point about the psychological scar across well. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Moore Movie Nation Douglas’s magnetic performance and the mere fact that this ground-breaking, well-intentioned thriller exists makes it a classic, a peek at an uncomplicated moment in time when Israel could be considered an embattled underdog state Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews I'm sure there's a fertile story there, but the storytelling is as dry as the desert.
