The two men are allowed to spend what is presumably their last night alive with their families.

However, the operation does not go according to plan and the two friends lose sight of each other.

    I thought this film was excellent. It doesn't glorify suicide bombing at all. Just portrays the thought process behind it. The two leads are outstanding. And I believe they are sympathetic characters being used and brainwashed into doing such an inhumane act! I really liked the ending, no music to the credits, time to reflect.

    The movie was pretty good until the last 3 mins of the film! It had me really caring and understanding the 2 main characters but then the ending just wasn't an ending! I was pretty angry at the end. But was interesting and gave me a glimpse into the Palestinian conflict with Israel

    An amazing film. Beautifully acted. I couldn't imagine being in the situation these two are placed in. This movie is in a class of its own.
