It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The story is decent, but the dance sequences really are distracting. Also the final rescue mission is almost a casual sequence in the movie. They leave out the 3 passengers that died and the one Amin murdered.

Lousy film, humanizes terrorist, Jose Padila has absolutely 0 talent. How do you take one of the most exciting events of the 20th century and turn it into a snooze fest is Senior Padilha's little secret that I do not care to know. Tension level is low, characters as flat a a rug and nothing i mean nothing to fall in love with.

Sympathizes with terrorists. Also the director thought he would be creative and mix in a dance scene with the turning point of the film but it ruined the movie.

For the fans of movies based on true stories, this is a nice one to watch. Lead actors are doing a good role, it keeps your attention until the end.
