Interesting Espionage Thriller But Too Long

Rating: 6/10 (25 June 2006)

MUNICH fulfilled my expectations but my wife and me found the movie too long. The story hits a still existing problem from the state Israel and their identity. Spielberg packed all that in an interesting espionage cat and mouse thriller set in some nice places in Paris and Rome. Believable scenery and costumes brought me really back to the seventies. I didn't know that Eric Bana could act so strong and here he convinced me and this performance should have been the Oscar for him. The picture was very clear and superb and the film is anyway fast paced containing many plots and twists with some violent scenes. No doubt MUNICH is well worth the five Oscar nominations. Steven Spielberg explained for me very well what happened in that black September of 1972 with the Juif situation and I recommend MUNICH to everyone that wants to understand more about the Juifs. I warn you that it has nearly three hours running time and so watch it only if you have enough time. I give for this five Oscar nominated document a solid 6/10. Too overrated on this site.
