The level of candor here may not satisfy hard-liners of either stripe, but it can help viewers begin to formulate new questions about the philosophical, strategic and moral challenges of conflict, in particular "wars on terror."

Ultimately the movie feels evasive, and its flashy, digitally animated re-creations of military surveillance footage unpleasantly evoke the Call of Duty video games.

It offers startlingly honest insight into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from some of those who called the shots.

As a political testament, the result is revealing and important.

A monolith crumbles in The Gatekeepers, and it's a sight to inspire awe.

As a clear-eyed examination of a conflict that seems to have no end, The Gatekeepers is powerful, provocative stuff.

Extraordinary...not only an engrossing first-hand account of Israel's Palestinian policies over time, but one that may have lessons to teach both Israeli leaders and other nations confronting those they identify as terrorists.

Unprecedented and deeply unsettling, it offers little hope for a lasting peace in that war-torn region.

For its candor and impact, deserves to be seen and discussed.

An often remarkable Israeli documentary about Shin Bet, the country's internal security agency.

"The Gatekeepers" achieves something rare: It is riveting because of both its intellectual rigor and its filmmaking vigor.

I got as much enjoyment out of this film about as much as a 6 year-old would.

A remarkable behind-the-scenes peek at how Israel's in-house CIA/FBI has operated, both honorably and questionably, from the Six-Day War until now.

As a work of contemporary political history and moral philosophy, it's essential viewing.

An inside look into one of the most secretive and sophisticated intelligence apparatus in the world may not be what you expected.

Filmmaker Dror Moreh gives a unique look, from those in the know, of the inner workings of Israel's home intelligence service.
