Not so great

Rating: 6/10 (3 February 2006)

Munich, as the title says, is based on real events that happened after the Black September. Directed by Steven Spielberg, with an ensemble of cast, this movie is definitely a watchable one. But, it did not live up to the hype it has generated.
After all, the movie looks like a plain revenge drama. I do not know much about the black September, but just watching the movie makes me feel that this (the movie) is a biased one. It presents only one side of the image. There were too many sentiments (family/religion/country) spread throughout the movie, which really tested my patience. The last one hour was just a drag and there was no story to tell. Unlike Spielberg's other movies, this movie is not for an universal audience.
