Sword of Gideon (1986 TV Movie)
10/10
Fine movie of its type.
25 January 2006
Steven Bauer, an underrated actor, does a magnificent job as head of a team dedicated to avenging the deaths of Israeli athletes. The plot is logical, credible and well-organized. Action scenes are just-plain terrific and the conclusion is excellent.

I particularly liked the care the team took to "get" the criminal while taking great pains not to injure any members of his family, to the point that, when their actions could have injured an innocent, the team called the kill off.

Direction was crisp, and to-the-point with very little wasted footage.

This movie is so good that I fail to understand its absence from the shelves of most video rental/sales stores.
