James Bond meets Israeli bureaucracy in this absurd spy parody where saving the world is less important than workplace politics.
A Mossad agent competes with a CIA agent in a war with a terrorist organization that threatens to blow up the world with cell phones. If they fail in their mission, the head of the Mossad will not be able to light a torch on Independence Day on live television, which is forbidden.
Acting
Tal Friedman's dual-role commitment to unhinged energy.
Writing
The torch-lighting stakes somehow escalate perfectly.
Director
Alon Gur Arye
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Alon Gur Arye adapted this from his own stage play, explaining the theatrical pacing and single-location energy that survives the film adaptation.
