An offensive hand gesture sets into motion a tragic series of events in director Tzahi Grad's tense tale of one man who refuses to bend to the powers that be. It's Holocaust Memorial Day, and Michael Klienhouse's wife, Tamar, has just flipped 60-year-old war hero Dreyfus the finger. Enraged at the blatant act of disrespect, Dreyfus punches the gas of his car and nearly kills Tamar when he drives directly into her door. A law-abiding citizen who only wants justice for his wife, family man Michael is shocked when the authorities tell him that there is little they can do about the incident. As it turns out, Dreyfus has some pretty powerful friends, and never seems to have lost his battlefield mentality. Stunned by the willingness of police to overlook the incident and sent into a downward spiral of powerlessness, Michael finds himself newly invigorated as he sets about procuring a gun and seeking justice on his own terms. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Bouba may have been a war hero, but the war traumatized him too much for him to endure human company. Now he is a silent hermit living in the deserts of southern Israel in an abandoned bus and an old gas station. One day, his solitude is broken when his brother joins him there to hide from his employers, mobsters for whom he has been an enforcer. On the same day, a girl who was on her way to a dance competition is stranded there and takes refuge with him as well. Events soon come to a head, and Bouba must prove that he cares about living, and he once again discovers that he has the heart of a hero. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Shell Shock is a title occasionally dusted off for low-budget war pictures. Since the name of the eponymous affliction was coined during World War 2 (they called shell shock "nostalgia" during the Civil War!), most of these films take place during that conflict. This 1989 film is no exception. Four GI's, cut off from their outfit, struggle to stay alive. As the sound of bullets begins taking its toll on the soldiers' psyches, they begin hallucinating about going home. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
