Walk on Water (2004)
Director: Eytan Fox
Movie review
From Time Out New York
Cultures clash and personal creeds collide in Israeli filmmaker Eytan Fox's melodrama about a Mossad assassin (Ashkenazi) assigned to shadow a German homosexual and his expat sister—the grandkids of a famous fugitive Nazi. Part straight-to-video potboiler and part tolerance plea, Fox's exercise in genre hybridization (behold, the international espionage thriller/alternative-lifestyle love story?) suffers from never finding a middle ground where its varied ideas can intertwine. Even if you agree with the film's moral, the heavy-handed haranguing and slapdash direction make it one lackluster lecture on the body politic.Author: DF
