So don't kid yourself you're going to be seeing some kind of documentary - the story strays too far from the facts of the case for that.
Nevertheless, for those who enjoy a tense action movie this gets the job done.
You have innocent children (6-12) on a school bus. You have violent kidnappers on a political mission. And you have the skilled professionals sent in to resolve the situation, in spite of numerous bureaucratic hurdles. And the real hero is the courageous teacher who puts her life on the line on behalf of the terrified children.
This is very a un-PC view, but the subsequent history of the area cannot help making one question the wisdom of the UK and French withdrawal from the countries dominating access to the vital global trade conduit of the Suez Canal. Instead of remaining and nurturing those peoples into becoming 21stC societies, they granted independence and moved out. The resulting mess led to seriously failed states where the actual people are far worse off today than they were 50 years ago. Sadly, revolutionaries rarely want liberty for their people, as it's power and privilege they're really after. And while they fight over the spoils,the people suffer!
