Movie Haiku:Small group of Israeli soldiers, with 22 year old “Liraz” (Cohen) in command, literally holds down the fort as IDF forces leave occupied Lebanon in 1999. Part JAWS, part ALAMO, part SAVING PRIVATE RYAN; totally focused on men in extremis with all the political implications present but implicit.
