Default 7 Days In Entebbe

Just saw movie. 2.5/5 stars. The usual film-based-on-facts where actual 20 minutes of action stretches to 2 hour movie.

Slow in so many parts, but OK that the writer/producer split it 50/50 from the Israeli<>Palestinian point of view. Early on, I could not get out of my mind, what I felt was as error in the movie. The Air France plane that was hijacked in 1976 was shown as having "winglets" at the tip of the plane's wings. When I first saw them in this movie, thought they were a more recent addition to planes, like 15 years max. Home and googled.

Man, that's like having a character wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and saying it was a production oversight...

Left photo= real hijacked plane in 1976 in Entebbe
Right photo = scene from the movie (jet has winglets).

Sometimes movies get ruined by my "CDO"....>
