Dragged on

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2006)

Personally, I felt it was a good film but did it drag on a bit or wasn't I in the right frame of mind to watch it last night? I had a bit of problem sometimes with time lines and continuity. As I said, maybe I wasn't in the right mood to watch the film yesterday. Maybe I should watch it again.
Eric Bana, is an attractive actor with screen presence, but I felt somehow he could have shown more passion, if that is the right word. Or a more powerful portrayal of the lead character. Although was Avna a victim of politics too? I felt he was.
To me the screenplay seemed to indicate some criticism of Mossad (?) and the Israeli government's reaction to the Munich tragedy. Not that I blame them for feeling this way, but the way they handled it.
As far as acting, Geoffry Rush was good, and also the other actors in lead roles.
I just felt it was a bit repetitive. Not one of Spielberg's best in my opinion.
