Munich is an act of courage and conscience

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2006)

A mesmerizing presentation of Israel's inquiry to the massacre of its athletes in Munich Olympics 1972. It's a film of uncommon depth and sensitivity without any political bias. The movie starts with the Palestinian terrorist attack on Israel's athletes.If you don't know what the movie is about, you should try to read some background about it before you watch it. Speielberg absolutely takes you in 70s time. Events are unfolded in natural and flawless manner without any manipulation. It surely expresses the dual state of mind of a man who is serving his country carrying out the assassinations ordered by the Prime Minister of Israel herself, in response to the terrorist attack, exhibiting the power and keeping the peace process aside . He surely understands what he is doing is nothing but an act of vengeance and igniting more terrorism than causing peace and resolving problems that should be resolved. Spielberg leaves you deciding it on yourself what the movie wants to tell. All are fighting for their own homes, but at the cost of other's. A must watch portrayal of courage and conscience.
