Just watched 7 DAYS IN ENTEBBE.....boy did it suck. Slow.....boring.....sympathetic to the hijackers.....the scenes of the Israelie commandoes raiding the airport to rescue the hostages shows almost nothing of the actual raid (mostly soldiers running to the terminal) and is intercut (I am not joking) with a Jewish dance troupe doing an interperative dance routine (the end credits are also of a guy doing some stupid interperative dance as a woman behind him runs on a treadmill....who the hell came up with this ****). Total waste of time (glad I watched on cable and didn't go to theater or buy the DVD)....I watched it because I was living back then (1976) and remember this being on the news for over a week.
If you are interested in watching a good movie about the incident....watch RAID ON ENTEBBE starring Charles Bronson, Peter Finch, and Yaphet Kotto.....or VICTORY AT ENTEBBE starring Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster.
