Walk on Water

I watched this movie last night, and feel in love with it. It was a wonderful movie. I loved how a friendship was made, tested, and was found to be a strong one. It was an incredible movie. The ending trully was wonderful I was crying out of happiness. Such a sweet movie.

This is a very poorly done unrealistic movie that disgraces Massad as well as the idea of Judaism itself. If you have a strong Jewish identity and understand what actually Holocaust and Judo phobia are then I would recommend you to pass on this movie. Don't waste your time and money on this movie!

This movie belongs to Lior as Eyal. The camera loved him and he loved the camera. His expression's ran the gambit of emotions, so subtle, yet so decisive , you had no trouble knowing just how he felt. His defending his disgust of the suicide bombers. And his complete lack of knowledge of how homo's get together, Very funny scene. The Mossad has found out that Axel's grandfather is still alive and have put Eyal as a tourist guide to find any information regarding the grandfathers where about's. Eyal is to assassinate him for his war crimes.

Eytan Fox has another award winning movie under his belt. The first was ('Yossi and Jagger ' a brief love story about two officer's in the service ), it ended too soon.
Knut Berger did an excellent job as the homosexual brother of Pia who has come to Israel to work on a Kibbutz . Axel , has come to Israel to bring Pia back home for their fathers birthday, but Pia has split with her parents when she found out that her Nazi grandfather is still alive in Argentina. Eyal and Axel tour around Israel and a bound develop's. You will not want to miss this movie as the acting of all is very good , the music and cinematography are great. And Lior's dry sense of humor is very funny. I give this great little indie flick 4/5 or 8/10 star's ciao yaaah69

A year before Stephen Speilberg's overblown, albeit effective, "Munich," came a much smaller film exploring essentially the same moral dilemma - becoming that which we fight against - but with a less pessimistic outcome.

Eyal is an effective assassin, who loves his work, but enters a crisis in confidence when the tear-streaked face of his latest target's son imprints on his memory. The crisis is exacerbated when he finds his wife's body after her suicide in their bedroom, and reads the suicide note, the content of which comes into play throughout the movie.

Eyal's handler, Menachem, suspects his wavering resolve, but takes a hand in rehabilitating him by assigning him to an investigation that is off Mossad's books, but within its mission of hunting down Nazi war criminals. Eyal's vulnerable state allows him to connect with the grandchildren of the Nazi being hunted, resulting in his further humanization.

Although the plot plays out to a low-key, surprising, and totally apt conclusion the overall effect is slightly marred with a coda that is touching, but unnecessary.

All in all, though, this is a movie in which everything comes together: a believable script, detailed direction, and absolutely incredible casting in which every character seems right. It's only the coda that keeps me from giving it five stars.

This is just a terrific little film. The melange of Jews, Germans, Palestinians, straights, gays, old Nazis, young Nazis is just so engrossing. The use of English, Hebrew and German gives the film an air of authenticity. The direction is first rate with enough tension and tempo to keep my teenanger's attention, yes my teenager's attention! This is a really intelligent film.
