Give him the Statue

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2006)

I have just recently seen 'Munich' and it was one of the brutal, heartless, intelligent and wonderful films have seen in a long time. Spielberg's use of flashback and time-line to spin this horrible tale, though not entirely original, was a stroke of genius. I believe that director Peter Weir also used this style of directing in his 1993 film 'Fearless'. The Jeff Bridges character, who flashsback constantly throughout the film of the plane crash he walked away from is eerily similar to the Eric Bana character's journey in 'Munich'....both films endings culminating in the final telling of the tale....great performances abound as well in 'Munich'...Ciarans Hinds best work to date (Rome & Sum of all fears)...Our newest James Bond, Daniel Craig, puts in a stellar performance as well....also a nice touch bring back former James Bond Villain, Michael Lonsdale, (as Drax in Moonraker) to play the culinary-obsessed, Double-agent 'Papa"...This a must see....first three hour movie I have seen in a long time that I did not want to end....give him the statue.
