The performances are all sturdy, mostly from reliable character actors who consistently turn in solid performances in everything they do. But the film dodges every opportunity it has at introspection or more than surface-level ethics. 3/

When the question is raised as to what to call the group that has taken Israeli athletes hostage, someone suggests the word terrorist, and after getting slight pushback, the matter is dropped. 4/
When the decision is made to air inaccurate information to avoid being scooped, the film doesn't seem to have a point of view about whether it was ethically wrong to share the false information - we just move past it along with the characters. 5/
While the film has some exciting moments, it's a shallow film that never truly engages with any of the provocative questions that it raises. (Watched on the Film Independent Screening Portal) 6/6
