A Very Good Drama/Thriller, 23 June 2006
10/10
Author: Jacob Tucker from London, England

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This is the story of a man called Mordechai Vanunu, who has problems with the Israeli army. He is distraught and needs help. A man Asher wants him killed and out of the Israeli Empire.

Mordechai informs his wife Ruth so they leave Jerusalem and move to the city of Tel Aviv. But Asher gets closer when he looks through Mordechai's permanent records and payes a journalist to write about his personal life. Mordechai feels incredibly scared that he will get killed. He then confides in his former classmate from university Doris who is now an accountant (played by Debra Burton). Mordechai asks Doris for help, Doris tells him to runaway and leave Israel. Unfourtunately Asher overhears the conversation and asks Doris about Mordechai and what he intends to do, not telling her about the phone call.

Doris completely denies every speaking to Mordechai since university and tells him to leave immediately. Asher does not believe Doris and leaves to plot more. She immediately informs Ruth and asks her to tell Mordechai to leave Israel.

Can't tell you anymore but what a fantastic thriller!
