Emile Hirsch is an Israeli agent in the trailer for thriller 'The Engineer'

"That's all I'm fighting, bro." Lionsgate has released the official trailer for an action thriller titled The Engineer, the latest from director Danny A. Abeckaser. This is yet another collaboration between Abeckaser and his writer Kosta Kondilopoulos - they also did I Love Us and Inside Man this year before. The film is a thrilling action thriller based on true events. It follows the biggest manhunt in Israeli history to find Yahya Ayyash, the mastermind of the bombmaker who oversaw a group of suicide troops in Israel in the mid-1990s. Emile Hirsch stars as former Mossad agent Etan who leads a covert team of agents and mercenaries to find the man responsible - the elusive "engineer". The cast includes Tzahi Halevi, Angel Bonanni, Adam Haloon, Omer Hazan and Yarden Toussia-Cohen. It looks terrible, even the performance. It looks more like chauvinistic cinema and Israeli propaganda. I cannot recommend it.

Here is the official trailer (+ poster) for The Engineer by Danny A. Abeckaser, direct from YouTube:

In the tradition of "Homeland" and "Fauda", here is this thrilling action thriller based on true events and starring Emile Hirsch and Tzahi Halevi.

Now, former Mossad agent Etan (Hirsch) must lead a covert elite team of operatives and mercenaries to find the man responsible - the elusive "Engineer". Can they find and destroy the madman before more innocent lives are lost? The Engineer is directed by Israeli-American actor/producer/filmmaker Danny A. Abeckaser, director of the films First We Take Brooklyn, Mob Town, Blackjack: The Jackie Ryan Story, I Love Us, and this year's Inside Man before. The screenplay is written by Kosta Kondilopoulos (I Love Us, Inside Man). It is produced by Danny A. Abeckaser and Yoav Gross. Lionsgate will release The Engineer in select US theaters + on VOD starting August 18, 2023.
