In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Every rule has its exceptions. A Jewish friend of mine says that Israeli movies were crap. Perhaps as a whole this view is correct, but there are exceptions, as "Walk on Water". If you have to characterize this movie in a few words, it's just actually superior quality cinematography. Extremely well made film with a leisurely pace, without unnecessary artificially blown drama, despite the dramatic story that it tells. Curiously, it involved all clichés that we would expect from this kind of cinema: German war criminals, Israeli agents of the almighty Mossad, palestinian terrorism, etc. However, the strangest is that it does not irritate the viewer because it is woven exclusively organic and masterly in the script.Directing, cast, the camera and soundtrack are perfectly matched and the end result is another proof of the great hidden potential of Israeli cinema. Frankly, I'm curious why Jewish filmmakers in Hollywood have such high achievements and success, but their compatriots in Israel seem undervalued by the audience and critics. In any case, Israeli cinema is developing in an upward spiral, and we can expect from it another surprising good news, as "Walk on Water".

This is a film about a man discovering his conscience; it is brilliantly written, as we meet an impassive, chilly killer-for-hire go quietly about his business, who in the course of his work becomes personally involved with the family of his next victim To reveal too much about the plot would be to spoil a viewer's involvement--it is lushly photographed in Israel, in Germany, deals with the residuals of Fascist rule, with sexist preconceptions, with the nature of love; it's subtle set of themes creep up on you after long after you view the film and realize how much of the film could have gone awry with it's complex overlays of interlacing themes and careful mixture of politics and personal stories.

Walk on Water is a film worth catching. The plot of the Mossad man asked to go undercover to watch the German grandson and Kibbutzim granddaughter of a major Nazi is already fascinating - but the script and acting delivers massively in making this more than simply a drama. It would be wrong to even label it a thriller - it is a complex, yet beautiful piece, with a good sense of pace, that centers around a variety of themes involving identity and international belonging.The wider notions of culture and identity and even sexuality that are raised here are both poignant and interesting. It is a film that is easy to watch, but raises at the same time interesting questions while you're watching it. The mix of tourism, kibbutzim, police work, and the city life coupled with the contrast between the individuals makes this a satisfying watch.All in all this Israeli production shines with intelligence, good drama, and a sense of values that not inherently obvious invade and stay after the credits roll. Recommended.

This was a really cute movie! Very touchy and warm human story. The story that answers a lot of questions we are afraid of: love and hate, judging and forgiving while, opening some very serious taboo topics. Also, it suggests the pattern on how can the good person become bad and vice-versa. It involves emotions rather than a twisted plot, so while sucking you in, the movie moves you pretty much. Excellent acting and really good casting, especially on the main character! Clever development of the characters and their mutual relations in the movie is pretty good! I would highly recommend this movie to anyone, it is hard not to appreciate it.
