This isn't Fauda !

This doesn't have the script, direction or acting quality of "Fauda". It's very slow in the beginning and bogs down at times. They should have used Hebrew and Arabic throughout with English subtitles instead of jumping between three languages. It improves toward the end.

The insertion of "family drama" turns this from an interesting story to another boring American type police/family drama. I don't care about their family relationships, I turned in to watch a Shin Bet/Sabak operation to find a bomber. There is a reason that Fauda is popular in many countries including Arab ones, it has quality.

I enjoyed it!

This pulse-pounding action-thriller is based on true events, about the hunt for the most notorious Palestinian bomb-builder of the mid-90s, the cunning killer nicknamed "The Engineer." He was the guy who built the vest-bombs that Hamas suicide-bombers wore onto buses and into Israel's public places, I actually remember experiencing these horrors as a kid.

It was made pretty good with fine actors. Action and drama were definitely provided. If you liked "Fauda" and "Homeland" you should watch this too.

The middle east provides Israel with action on a daily basis, this is a pretty good taste of our everyday reality.

A very interesting film about the hunt for the notorious Palestinian bomb maker Yahya Ayash.

A very interesting film about the hunt for 'the engineer', the notorious Palestinian bomb maker Yahya Ayash.

The fast-paced film follows the Shin Bet's hunt and targeted killing of the notorious Palestinian bomb maker Yahya Ayash ("The Engineer").

Skillfully interweaving documentary-style archival footage of key traumatic and heartbreaking events from 1993-1996, the film recreates the suicide bus bombings using live broadcasts combined with the latest filmmaking technology.

The film tells the story of hunting down that terrorist mastermind through the eyes of Shin Bet agents, including the super-secret Mistaarvim unit that infiltrated Gaza in a high-risk effort to track down Ayash.

All in all, a great movie. Highly recommended.
