Palestine is natural thriller terrain here, and there are echoes of Battle of Algiers and La Haine in this credible but cleverly plotted story, flexing tensions between resistance, collaboration, love and loyalty. A handsome, typically frustrated young Palestinian, Omar, sees his horizons diminish even further after he carries out a sniper attack with his two childhood buddies (one of whose sister he plans to marry). He's captured, imprisoned, tortured and coerced into becoming an informer for the Israelis, but finds he's not the only traitor. Caught in the middle, there's no guessing which way this emblematic youth will jump. The story dishes out action and surprises without losing its political intent.
