4.0 out of 5 starsTHE ATTACK Remains A Human Drama That Transcends Its Obvious Politics
By Edward L Zimmerman TOP 1000 REVIEWER on January 8, 2014
Format: DVD
I tend to avoid watching most political dramas. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy them; rather, because I’m already kinda/sorta set in my convictions and those convictions don’t tend to match up with an awful lot of Hollywood and/or mainstream releases that are political in nature, I honestly figure, “Why bother?” I resent the typical Tinseltown indoctrination films – you know, the ones telling me how to think, to live, to pray (should I choose to). I prefer living my life freely with my own code of morality, but I’ll occasionally get wrapped up in that rare film that appears to only use a politically-charged situation as a backdrop with which to explore human conflict.

THE ATTACK – it’s apparently based on some relatively controversial international bestseller – is one such film. Sure, it’s easy to see how some might be either offended or insulted by some of the themes wrapped up in here; but I was able to look past much of that into the eyes of a man (largely because of a gripping, stirring performance) tortured not only by what he had seen but also more so by what he hadn’t.

(NOTE: The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary solely for the discussion of plot and/or characters. If you’re the kind of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I’d encourage you to skip down to the last three paragraphs for my final assessment. If, however, you’re accepting of a few modest hints at ‘things to come,’ then read on …)

Amin Jaafari (played with simmering intensity by Ali Suliman) is a physician in Israel. Although he’s of Palestinian descent, he’s clearly embraced what life has to offer him and his wife Siham (a radiant Reymond Amsellem). On the cusp of greatness, he’s being served an award for an exceptional career in medicine.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat addition to movies looking at the Israeli-Palestine conflict
By Paul Allaer TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on September 5, 2013
Format: DVD
"The Attack" (2013 release from Lebanon; 102 min.) brings the story of Amin (play by Ali Suliman), a successful Arab-Israeli surgeon who is about to receive the highest honor any doctor can receive in Israel for his professional accomplishments. His wife Siham (played by Reymond Amsalem), also Arab, is not with him, though. The next day a suicide bomber in Tel Aviv kills 17 people, including 11 children, and severely wounds scores more, when setting off explosives in a restaurant. Many of them end up in Amin's hospital and he tries all he can to save lives. Later that night, he is called back to the hospital. It turns out Siham was killed in the attack and all signs point to her being the suicide bomber. Amin simply refuses to believe it when pressed by the Israeli police. At this point we're only 25-30 min. into the movie. Was Siham a terrorist? Is Amin being set up by the Israeli police? Could Amin possibly have completely misread his wife? To tell you more would surely ruin your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.

Several comments: first, the movie is based on the 2007 book of the same name by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra. I haven't read the book so I cannot comment on how this compares to the book. Second, many people are unaware that Arab-Israelis make up about 20 percent of Israel's population, and are often very torn in their feelings for their country (Israel) and their spiritual brothers and at times roots in Palestine and other Arab areas. Third, the movie does an excellent job exposing those tormented feelings of Amin as he is on a path to find out what really happened leading up to the attack.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAn interesting good movie
By Barri Cae Mallin on January 23, 2014
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
This was an amazing movie. The conflict in the Middle East is so challenging to address. This movie was graphic and at times I had to close my eyes however the storyline was amazing. I loved it. We have a charity that does work in the Middle East twice yearly and we help all peoples. It was wonderful to see some of the venues that we frequent.

2.0 out of 5 starsBook to movie comparision.
By Karina Hawley on December 7, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Read the book first. 30 minutes before the movie ends I wondering how they are going to wrap up it the way the story goes. Well they didn't bother to do that. Instead they change the tone of the story. Although there is a similarity in the guilt feeling in the film to the novel it comes off in the film as though it is his fault. I also didn't appreciate how they changed his relationship with the other doctor. They minimized her role and trivialized their relationship. She was a crucial character. Really hated the whole video thing and how he gets into that argument in the end with the doctor.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Affecting & Effective Look At The Complexities of Loyalty & Relationship
By Lindsay N. Bowker on January 18, 2014
Format: Amazon Video
The husband in a close loving relationship sets on a journey to disprove that his wife, killed in a terrorists bombing was a victim and not the suicide bomber as officials charge, placing him also under suspicion., A celebrated and much loved surgeon , He and his wife also of Arab heritage and she a christian,seem, even to those closest to them for years, to have lives somehow apart not only from the extreme violence of Israeli/Palestinian violence, but beyond politics and all ideologic passions. The story unfolds in almost dream like unconnected ,snippits building first to revelation and then to a resolution so profound and so intensely personal he cannot speak of it ever to anyone. The viewer shares just enough of this mans journey to be almost literally in his heart when the revelation comes but we are not in on the resolution. We are left to ponder and rework and explore all the layers of meaning and truth in this film. Anyone who loves David Mamet would love this film. This film has so many dimensions and facets it should be in a permanent home collection, and is a good choice for gifting to your local library.
