A Five Minutes Walk, an Israeli film made in an around Tel Aviv, is a compelling story shot in black-and-white about the machinations of intertwined lives: policemen, drug dealers, bar workers and a film director and his crew. It is recommended as a very nice piece of work from a part of the world many in the USA are not familiar with. The actors have done a good job of presenting the story and the leads are both persuasive and attractive. It is worth the time and effort to see it. One slight issue is that the subtitled translations are not very good and occasionally there are mistakes. Generally speaking, however, it is an interesting movie about the seamier sides of Israeli life that is well worth the viewer's effort.
