    This is real, rubber hits the road stuff. A glimmer of hope grew in me as I heard one of the Shin Bet chiefs wrestle with the moral dilemma of targeted assassinations. Highly recommended!
  • Surprising, Candid And Thoughtful Retrospective by those who lived it

    Anyone who thinks that this somehow is "edited" to focus on the failures of the Israel domestic security force only watched half of this. The clear take-away from the group of men who "led" the organization is that despite significant military and operational successes, the threats internally were ultimately as dangerous and the operational victories didn't (and probably never would) achieve the stated goals of peace and security. It also provided for a classic discussion on the philosophy of war, morality, politics, the military, domestic security and lives of the people who are asked to perform in these paradigms.
  • A must see

    I had no subtitle problems and I found the contents extremely profound and applicable to many historical events and human folly. Everyone should watch this movie at least once and show it to their friends.

    Great documentary, wish it was much longer. These are honest soldiers that speak clearly about what they do.

    Regardless of your opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this documentary is the first glimpse (outside the book, that is) we've had at the inner workings of the Shin-Bet; The intelligence group the Bush administration went for post-9-11 guidance. A must-watch for those concerned with world demographics and population dynamics. Oh, and for all the idiots giving it a 1 star for no subtitles; turn on the itunes subtitles for crying out loud. Don't denigrate a piece of work because you yourself wont do the work of troubleshooting, I mean, come on, I'm not even good at computers but some people are like "I don't get this language, there are no subtitles, DONE. 1 Star"

    Apple should be charged with a bait and switch scam. Subtitles in the trailer but not in the movie. Makes me want to remove my account.

    Better for people that lived or are from Israel. And the subtitles don't do justice believe me.

    Come on now Apple, this is kind of a bait n switch deal. Show me a movie with subtitles and sell me one with none. I'd like a refund or the correct movie.
