Outstanding Film
Much better than I thought. It is very well done: True stories are always the best. This is very well cast and directed. Chris Evans and Michael Williams are superb in their respective roles. Greg Kinnear and the rest of the cast are very good as well. A must see.
This isn't about politics or religion, it is about being human.
A tense throwback to the thrillers of the 1970s, Red Sea is about the aided exodus of Jews from Ethiopia by Israel in the late 70s. The script, direction and cast, main and supporting, are pretty much faultless and Chris Evans proves, without doubt, that there is life beyond the MCU; the boy can act. I do question political and religious bias, especially in light of Israel's record on human rights; however, I do not question heart and entertainment value. A great film. See it.
Solid Netflix flick
Almost missed on this film,because some people reviewed it as political propaganda instead of really reviewing the film itself.. Haters got to hate..
The real review is this film is solid(acting,directed etc),enjoyable watching,and recaptures some important history.
The problem with this film I felt most of the plot was repeated in other films which kept it from been really great hence gave it only a 7. Nothing original here,except the true story behind the movie that inspired its creation.

A tight drama of an issue that people should care about
This film tells the story of a group of agents who go into Sudan to save a group of Jewish refugees.
The good number of stars attracted me to this film, and it turns out to be as good as one can expect. It is a tight drama that makes you want to find out what happens next. Furthermore, it is about an issue that people should care about. I think it is worth a good watch.

Rescue in the Red Sea
It's a very entertaining movie and it doesn't deserve the bad reception it got; the plot is good and the acting is decent; Jews have suffered greatly over several centuries and deserve respect.
Did you know
- TriviaAri Levinson (Chris Evans) says 'no one knows what they speak in Malta', Malta is bilingual with English and Maltese both being official languages. Maltese is a Semitic language most closely related to Maghrebi Arabic but also related to Hebrew, the language which the agents speak.
Malta is currently the only EU state to have an official language of Semitic origin.
- GoofsThe small "computer" on CIA Agent Bowen's desk is actually a TDD (Telecommunication Device for the Deaf). This model, Krown 200 LVD, wasn't introduced until the late 1980s.
