Not a single relatable character in the movie -- a bunch of random people with no story and no personality run around doing some random stuff you couldn't care less about.

I literally started to doze off half-way through the film and all I wanted to do is to turn down the volume because it was getting really loud and annoying.

Such a waste of money and acting talent!

I'm not a huge fan of Franco and Co, but this film is made with a ton of swag and off-the-hinges humor, that is just pleasant to watch.

Sometimes they take it too far, I admit, but still really funny and it's filled with love for the genre it mocks, which is also important.

I think there should be more fantasy parodies like this one, it makes for a great movie date :)

Genuine, original drama, very mature writing and great performance by talented Israeli actors.

Memorable music and very mindful, slow-paced storytelling, somewhat reminiscent of the best works of Coen brothers.

Cinematography, on the other hand, is a bit amateurish, but in this specific case, it only help to recreate the "documentary" look and feel of the series.

PS: Honestly, I'm mot sure, why so many people compare this show to Homeland. Despite lush "Hollywood" production values, the later looks like a cheap plastic knockoff of the original series, all twists and cliffhangers, no real depth or character study whatsoever. Maybe the problem is the translation (or cultural differences?), I just happen to have lived in both US and Israel, so I could compare both shows as they are. POW is infinitely better, hands down.
