Love and Hostages

Entebbe (titled 7 Days in Entebbe in the U.S.) is a 2018 action thriller film directed by José Padilha and written by Gregory Burke. The film recounts the story of the 1976 Entebbe raid counter-terrorist hostage-rescue operation, focusing on the political crisis between Israeli leaders Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres as well as the internal motivations of the German hijackers played by Rosamund Pike and Daniel Brühl. Released in the United States on 16 March 2018 and in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2018, the film received widely unfavorable reviews from critics, who criticized its slow pacing, heavy-handed framing, and flat dramatic execution.
