Right off the bat, the easiest way to describe ‘Eagles’ is as an Israeli ‘Red’ that’s a lot less colorful, a lot more bleak, but about on the same level of humor (whether it be intentional or not). And believe it or not, the two main characters, Efraim (Yossi Polak) and Moshka (Yehoram Gaon) make the aforementioned comic book film’s cast look like spring chickens — so, young. Perhaps if I had had time to read a synopsis of the film before going in, I wouldn’t have been as thrown off by the directional shift that the film experiences as it progresses, but in my ignorance, surprise came.
Efraim and his old buddy, Moshka are a couple of retired military men… super retired. No one has ever been this retired. They are in such a retired state that they are nearing rebirth. These guys are late-70s if they’re a day old.
