In the days leading up to Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, the soldiers stationed at the mountaintop outpost of Beaufort live under a barrage of constant attacks. Frustrated by the knowledge that they are risking--and often losing--their lives in defense of a fortress that will soon be abandoned, the men struggle to do their duty while grieving for their dead comrades and preparing for the evacuation.

A rare but not uncommon (jar head) breed of a war film - one without an enemy, where little happens and characters spend their time mostly waiting and talking. It's somewhat longish, but when paired with good photography and allegedly realistic portrait of life in an outpost, it works. At the same time, we are a litte bored and anxious about what will come next.

It fails to create tension, when it's obviously the very core of this film. That makes it a very long and boring war drama. I bet the book it's based on is so much better. Imagine Hurt Locker without tension and much less action, and you'll get this film.

What does it feel like to be a sitting duck for rocket launchers, ordered to protect a hill that's about to be abandoned anyway? This movie will clue you in. Beaufort presses ethical and existential issues without preaching or politicizing. Strong visuals, good cast, highly authentic dialogue, and most of all: Beaufort is utterly nerve-wrecking.
