Spielberg took too long to develop his message, which was unclear

Rating: 3/10 (31 December 2005)

I remember watching the Munich massacre on live TV. I knew that Israel had commissioned certain agents to eliminate the persons responsible. Why did it take Spielberg so long to develop this well known plot. The movie should have been cut by 1/2 an hour at least. His message was very difficult to ascertain. The only message that I perceived from this movie that there is no hope for any peace in the middle east. The killing will go on until eternity. For every person the Jews kill, the Arabs will kill a Jew. When will it ever stop? Spielberg obliterates the distinction between the Mossad, the CIA, and the KGB. According to this movie we never know whether the men assassinated were the actual perpetrators, or political killings. If that was his message, it could have been clearer.
