Featured review
A bit on the stilted side, but overall a historical depiction of the
events on the Achille Lauro. Lancaster still shows his acting chops and
the movie accurately depicts the murder of an old man in a wheelchair
simply because he was Jewish. Thank God this film avoids the pitfalls
of being politically correct and shows the true face of Islamic fascism
in all its brutality. If only more filmmakers were as courageous as
this film's producers. Hopefully this film will be remade with better
dialogue and a few more big name stars. Kudos for bringing Eva Marie
Saint out of virtual retirement. She radiates class and it is very much
imparted to the Marilyn Klinghoffer character. With a little luck
future generations will understand that the terrorism of innocents is
never justified. It's even more true in regard to the treatment of
wheelchair-bound elderly.
