Sword of Gideon (1986 TV Movie)
6/10
Not a bad made-for-TV movie, but...
12 January 2020
Not a bad made-for-TV movie, but... I have a problem with the politically correct moral doubts by the protagonists depicted in this film. This seems highly unrealistic to me, not in sync with the times, the situation or the characteristics of an agent belonging to an elite Mossad hit team. Also, it seems highly unrealistic to me that the Mossad agents where so easily exposed and hunted down by the terrorists. The existence of a private 'do it all, know it all' intelligence organisation is also highly implausible. I would really like to read the true story, because this movie, as well as Spielberg's 'Munich' both seem highly 'dramatized' and adapted to modern viewers for my taste. I am sure this is not how it actually went down. In other, some decent acting and cinematography make for an entertaining 3 hours, but nothing more than that.
