That corner of the world is so messed up. This film was so stressful.

Not a bad film, but I think I remember liking "Syriana" (2005) more.

This film was anti Palestine and pro Zionism ! It’s a disgrace 😵‍💫

I don't remember... was this the one with John Hamm, or the one that took place in the 1970's with the kids in the French school and the one kid stumbles into the brothel?

Yes

The other movie is "West Beirut" (1998)

I hadn't heard of this one, but will try to check it out.

Thought this was very good. Intricate enough with the different motivations of the players and well acted.

I agree, very good film, just too damn depressing.

The only real question to me at the end is how the Israeli's knew of the exchange location/time so they could have their agent take out Abu Rajal. Did they just discover it through surveillance, or did the PLO tip them off as the clearly didn't want Rajal out free to operate.
