Review: Walk On Water
In Walk On Water we meet a Mossad assassin at the top of his game at a time when his life takes a hard turn.
(Continues...)
Despite a headline-grabbing success Eyal is taken out of his regular team and given a special assignment. He has to determine the whereabouts of one of the last surviving Nazi war criminals. To do this he poses as a tour guide an befriends the target's grandchildren Pia (who has moved to Israel) and Axel (who is coming to visit). Eyal is frustrated at first, but a friendship begins to develop between him and the siblings. He's more than a little confronted when Axel not only takes them to a club with suspiciously few girls, but also proceeds to pick up an Arab guy. When a bug proves fruitful, Eyal puts personal views aside and goes to visit Axel in Berlin.
As far as assassin movies go Walk On Water gives some good insights as to what makes these particular professionals tick. If you count The Professional, Grosse Point Blank, or The Bourne Identity / Supremacy amongst your favourite films, consider giving this one a spin too.
