A complete waste of time

September 11,2010

Comparing this movie with "Das Boot" is a travesty! Hardly 10 minutes go by when one of the tank crews exclaims " I have to pee"... then they pass an empyty ammo can! If theyspent more than 10 grand making this tripe it was too much. Totally unbelievable and contrived. I only wish that I could have read an honest review like this before wasting my money...

Lebanon is meticulous, nearly clinical in its attention to what happens in war -- specifically what happened in the first days of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 -- but it is also a palpably and intensely personal film.Full Review

Offers a view of war that is anything but epic. Instead of sweeping battles and swooping fighter planes, in Lebanon we are brought into the impossibly claustrophobic world of a lone tank crew.Full Review

Not just the year's most impressive first feature but also the strongest new movie of any kind I've seen in 2010.Full Review

Lebanon is not just the name of an excellent new Israeli film, it signifies a continuing national obsession that shows no signs of going away.Full Review

A terrifying, absorbing 93 minutes spent in hell. It captures the intensity of warfare in a visceral fashion that recalls Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" and Oliver Stone's "Platoon."Full Review
