Spielberg makes another masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2006)

This is an excellent screenplay on all parts. The acting is spot on, the writing was excellent, and the direction was astounding. Spielberg speaks out and reveals the "war on terror" for what it really is, a senseless cycle of violence that hurts people on both sides, and forces us to look at it from both points of view: make special note of the scene where Avner is talking to the PLO member in the safehouse in Greece. You could say that this movie drags on, but the director is simply giving the scenes room to breathe and giving the movie the closure it deserves. Also, Bullit fans will notice Daniel Craig's likeness to Steve McQueen (which I'm sure Spielberg intended). It more than makes up for his recent 2005 throwaway flick "War of the Worlds" ... I'm sorry, but Tom Cruise is so far overrated it isn't funny. This is quite simply one of Spielberg's best works to date.
