Lebanon

Israel

1982 Lebanon war. We spend an hour and a half inside an Israeli tank as it mucks about helping to bring death and destruction to mostly civilians. The drama was poor...with too much hysterical over-acting...but the mise-en-scene was very impressive...gave a strong sense of being trapped, mostly blind in this steel, stinking, industrial killing machine.

Not a lot of fun to watch but a legitimate entry into the roster of memorable war films. Should have been called "tank."
