Rich's Rating:

4.5 out of 5

3 out of 5

Key Performances:

  Christoph Bach
  Ahmad Kaabour
  Édgar Ramírez
  Alexander Scheer
  Aljoscha Stadelmann
Movie Haiku:SPLIT DECISION: Ramírez anchors 5 hour TV mini-series on the life & times of "Carlos the Jackal" (also released in a 2+ hour theatrical version). Rich saw a "routine BioPic," but Jan saw a riveting exploration of 2 decades of international terrorism (1974-1994) much of it rhetorically anti-Zionist but aided & abetted by various nations with their own narrow interests.
