Amin Jaafari (Ali Suliman, Paradise Now) is an Israeli Palestinian surgeon, fully assimilated into Tel Aviv society. He has a loving wife, an exemplary career, and many Jewish friends. But his picture perfect life is turned upside down after a suicide bombing in a restaurant leaves nineteen dead, and the Israeli police inform him that his wife, Sihem (Reymonde Amsellem, Lebanon) who also died in the explosion, was responsible. Convinced of her innocence, Amin abandons the relative security of his adopted homeland and enters the Palestinian territories in pursuit of the truth. Once there, he finds himself in ever more dangerous places and situations. Determined, he presses on seeking answers to questions he never thought he would be asking.

Review For Movie The Attack
Delicately executed thriller balances its political baggage with unflagging suspense.John Anderson-Newsday
As this film demonstrates in so many ways, the intractability of the Arab-Israeli political situation is, to put it mildly, not easily resolved, least of all onscreen.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Though it's never less than involving, it grows in stature as it unfolds and ends as a more subtle and disturbing film about love, loss and tragedy than we might initially expect.
Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times
Remarkably accomplished and self-confident.
Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal
The film unfolds like an endless argument, and in a way that's perfect; the unhappy union at the heart of "The Attack" isn't just the one that Amin and Siham had, but the forced one that that Jews and Palestinians continue to have.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
"The Attack" starts out strong and swiftly unravels somewhere past the midpoint.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
The Israeli-Arab conflict is stripped to its most intensely personal level in The Attack, a haunting and heartbreaking meditation on violence, choice, love and duty that is one of the most remarkable films of the year.
Cary Darling-Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Suliman gives his all as the bereft, bewildered Amin, and the stern, bald-headed Gavriel, in a smaller role, comes off as the ultimate Israeli authority figure.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
The Attack is an ineluctably involving study of a civilized man caught in the middle of a ruthless, bloody conflict.
Michael Sragow-Orange County Register
A stark portrait of love, politics, and betrayal.
Shannon M. Houston-Paste Magazine
[T]urns from pointed social criticism into an absorbing mystery. . . that departs from stereotypes. . .to become a gripping political thriller and a disturbing warning.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
This is not a soft-hearted movie offering quiet hope.
Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News
What results is a film very much aimed at a Western audience, that is surefooted and fearless even as it ventures deeper and deeper into the dark heart of one of the most defining and complex conflicts of our time.
Jessica Kiang-The Playlist
An engrossing and rounded look at the religious, political, and cultural factors behind Arab-Israeli enmity in the Middle East.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
Telling this story from the point of view of the perpetrator's anguished, bewildered spouse is an inspired idea, and it may work very well in Khadra's book. Suliman, however, is the wrong actor for the job.
Mike D'Angelo-AV Club
