Absolutely Enthralling
One of the very few Netflix movies I've liked. Wonderful pacing and acting, based on a true story that I never knew existed, that now I'll never forget. I couldn't stop watching. Very well done!
POSITIVE AND RELEVANT
Chris Evans's roles always lean to heroic and patriotic characterization and this film was perfect for him. I feel like this movie was underrated, and should be considered as a decent historical and action drama that really caters to all generations of movie fans.
Positive beautiful film, just when we all need it.
This a moving film with exceptional performances by all actors involved. The direction and writing also hits good tones and avoids becoming a blow them up action movie. I really enjoyed this film from beginning to end. Chris Evans can act and there's a nice character arch with a few of the main players. Overall I really enjoyed this and will watch it again.
The fact that it's based on saving lives and happened during a really hard time in the Middle East and Africa (late 70's early 80's) makes it more poignant given the state of the world today.
Overall it's an A for me. I will recommend this to my friends and family. Enjoy :)

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.
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.
