Being Pro-Israeli, I was not expecting to like the film. However, I was pleasantly surprised at this funny, well-paced political thriller. It made me think but not necessarily change all my views. Being open-minded, I will watch other movies by this talented director. it deserved all the awards that it received and was nominated for. Especially the 2006 Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film. I did not feel like the movie was one-sided. The director does not sugar coat what the characters do. Controversial just like Monster and Syriana among others. I have never seen these actors before but it was some of the best acting I've seen. What initially got me to see it was the great reviews that it received and the controversy.
