updated remake

Rating: 3/10 (8 January 2006)

Over the years, I have really enjoyed Steven Spielberg movies, but this one I can only give 3 stars. Most people will find this a really great film, however, for those of us who remember the original TV movie "Sword of Gideon" (1986, starring Steven Bauer["Scarface"], Michael York, Rod Steiger, and John Hirsch) you will be extremely disappointed. "Munich" follows "...Gideon" almost scene by scene. They are the same movie 85% through; absolutely no originality. This seems to be a growing trend i.e. "Brothers" and "The Sons of Katie Elder" etc.
In summation, save your money and rent "...Gideon". The only REAL difference is the amount of fake blood.
