Mitachat La'af surpassed my expectations. It was not only an Israeli crime flick, but quite well done. Not only did I get caught up in it, but the acting was quite good. What a kick seeing the young Moshe Ivgy as a coke- addicted punk; and the rest of the cast, including the only woman, played their parts well. This especially became apparent after the theft of the safe, when things began unraveling, as they always do in crime flicks. What amazes me is that the screenplay is based on an actual crime, and although the three who actually carried out the theft got short sentences, the file of the one who walked away with nothing because he was cheated out of his share got thrown out for lack of evidence. Sweet revenge on the scumbag! Recommended; viewers won't be disappointed.
