Very well done, with only minor flaws

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2007)

I can almost forgive Spielberg for the waste of War of the Worlds. I would say the only flaws I see may be due to the source material. i don't know because I have not read the book. I know it is politically correct to feel bad about killing people, even if you'r'e an assassin, but hearing them whine about it all the time was pretty annoying. And the way Avner reacted to Israelis when it was over. Why would he be so upset with everyone? Why in the world would he accuse them of trying to kill him? I guess the point of the story is that if you go around killing people, and you didn't start out crazy, you'll go crazy. I guess, but that isn't exactly a universally significant insight. By the end, I got so tired of this aspect that I truly cannot even remember how it ended.
