Ricochets Movie Review

Ricochets evolved from an Israeli army training film into the theatrical release it became. It transcends its modest start, but simplifies the conflict between Israel and Lebanon by examining the problems of one small fighting unit. Still, since it never claims to show anything other than war from the Israeli soldier's point of view, the amount of military criticism in this effort is surprising, considering its origins. AKA: Shtei Etzbaot Mi'Tzidon.
