7 Days in Entebbe - Daniel Bruhl, Rosamund Pike
Yet another remake. I saw the original TV movie about this many years ago.
I didn't know another movie about this incident was also made in 1976.
-
@bovidae looking at the 'people who liked this might also like' titles, there is not only the one i watched, that one, but Live or Die in Entebbe, Operation Thunderbolt (movie and a TV Movie by this name) and Victory at Entebbe - so 6 movies about it.

7 Days in Entebbe - Daniel Bruhl, Rosamund Pike
based on the true story of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight from Tel Aviv to Paris, by German revolutionists and Palestinians and the subsequent rescue by the Isralis.
Could have been better, no real tension or anything, decent story not told very well.
2.75 hijackers out of 5 dead ones.
I remember when I worked in radio getting free tickets to Jack Reacher. I went with a bunch of mates and she bent over for a great cleavage shot, one of my mates yelled 'fucken hell, tits on that' really loudly....i think the entire cinema cracked up.....brilliant.
Best part of the movie which was otherwise crap.

I watched a bunch of other movies with her in it after seeing her in that. Massively disappointed.

She was brilliant as a psycho in Gone Girl. I don't really know of her other than Jack Reacher and Bond so not sure of her other acting work.
@taniwharugby I've just recently read the book the latest movie was based on, it's a really good read - haven't seen the movie, heard it's very disappointing, but you should give the book a read. I think it's actually called 'Operation Thunderbolt'.

She was in one of Brosnan's Bond films, surely she flashed something there?

The only tits in Bond are ( arguably ) some of the guys who play Bond.

yeah, she was amazing in that film. Fatal Attraction Glenn Close good.
Weirdly, terrible and wooden in everything else I’ve seen her in.

Took the boy to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom on IMAX in 3D.
Asked him what he thought of the movie afterwards and his response was: "that was absolutely AWESOME!!!".
Have to agree, but when it comes to Dinosaur movies I'm pretty easy to please. The Indoraptor was pretty badass, and we are all set for plenty of carnage in the next movie - bring it on!
Note for parents: overall not too scary, just some moderately intense/thriller type scenes later on in the dark with the Indoraptor. My boy is 5 and was fine, but he's a bit of a bit of a nut when it comes to Dinosaurs, I think he roots for the Dinosaur a lot of the time.
4.5 dead billionaires out of 5 epic Raptor battles.
I'm the complete opposite, I enjoyed JW1, it was a good fun movie, however this was a badly written bore. It had all the right pieces, dinosaurs, Chris Pratt playing Indy, cartoon bad guys, a mostly non annoying moppet yet it just didn't gel for me (and my mate I saw it with).
:::
So, when red head was about to push the open button I let out an actual sigh and told my mate the makers can't be this stupid ... when she didn't do it I went phew. Then the kid did it. So basically the kid unleashed killing beasts on the world. What utter bollocks.
It may have set up a sequel but it's a sequel I'm not going to pay money to see.
:::
Glad you and the boy liked it though.

A Quiet Place
Thought it was good, a bit better than say 3 quiet moments out of 5 WTF are you doing moments, but if I'd seen at the cinema, reckon it may have increased to 4 as I feel seeing it on the big screen would have added to the atmosphere.

Well you and your mate sound like curmudgeonly on bastards...
I think I just had different expectations going on. They will never top the first one, not least because at the time a lot of the hype was "OMG the Dinosaurs actually look real!" whereas nowadays any slight hint of them not looking realistic is jumped on.
I went into the movie hoping for some sweet action scenes, bad-ass Dinosaurs eating people, some nice shots of Bryce Dallas Howard, and wasn't overly concerned as to whether the story itself was a masterpiece. From that perspective it didn't disappoint.
There's also an element of father-son bonding that is causing some bias - it's great fun watching these movies with the boy and seeing how excited he got when the Volcano was erupting, or the Indoraptor was stalking people etc.
