*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A story about women searching for their husbands missing in the October War of 1973 should be profoundly moving at best, or tear-jerking at worst, but this is just inept, laughable, ridiculous. Poorly performed with stupid dialogue and hopeless direction.

Real suspense doesn't really have a chance to emerge in the film when you consider that Stephen Macht is one of the missing men, and he's the third-billed star.

The producers seem to have spent their entire budget engaging Kathleen Quinlan and she does try hard. Bad hair and too much make-up don't help her cause however.

Stephen Macht comes off best when he finally does appear towards the end.

The closing credits mention "original Hebrew dialogue", so perhaps there's another version which works a little better.
