McCheesy's take on "Munich"

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2008)

Ben Stone (Seth Rogen): "You know what movie I just saw again the other day, which is bleeping, like, mind-blowing and I haven't seen it since it came out is Munich." Jay (Jay Baruchel): "Oh, Munich!" Jonah (Jonah Hill): "Oh, man, Munich bleep rules." Jay: "Munich is awesome!" Ben: "That movie was Eric Bana kicking bleep ass! Through every movie with Jews, we're the ones getting killed. Munich flips it on its ear. We're capping motherbleep." Jonah: "Not only killing but bleep, like, taking names." An excerpt from the film "Knocked Up" pretty much sums it up for me. Munich bleeping rules. That's that. No questions asked.
When a group of Palestinians killed a bunch of Israelis in the 1972 Munich Olympics, the Israeli version of CIA - Mossad assigns the son of a war hero, Avner and four more people to hunt down and assassinate 11 people who had a hand in the Munich massacre. Avner is portrayed by Eric Bana. He played the role perfectly. He is the ultimate choice for the role of Avner. His emotions are so surreal it scares you.
The script is fantastic. I sometimes have problems with lengthy movies because sometimes its just two and a half hour of chock-full dialogues and the boredom sets in. But in Munich, I wanted more. The dialogues are there and at the same time the action is also present. Every hit they take is breath taking, like literally it will take your breath away. Its like going for a dip in an ocean and there's a shark behind you and you're scared as hell, that's the feeling that I felt every time they kill someone. Ciaran Hinds, Mathieu Kassovitz, Daniel Craig, Hanns Zischler, Ayelet Zurer and Geoffrey Rush co-stars and every each one of them were A-okay for me.
Director Steven Spielberg made an absolute masterpiece. Every little thing is perfect, the acting, the music, cinematography, editing every little bit is well planned and well executed.
This film is not black propaganda. Its an epic tale of vengeance, loyalty, betrayal and paranoia. Munich is a 10 and highly recommended.
