I did not like it, because ....

Rating: 4/10 (7 May 2007)

1) The execrable opening musical soundtrack goes aaaaahyahyahyaaaa...oooohyohyo - indicating I am a dumb-ass and am not aware that something dramatic and meaningful is going to happen.
2) The whole, already well documented hostage tragedy in Munic is painfully reenacted - a pseudo reality complemented with an execrable musical soundtrack that goes aaaa...
3) The viewers are addressed on an emotional level where they should use their minds. In my opinion that's dangerous.
4) A lot of screen time is used on a shady French character, a tradesman in assassination targets and other stuff, who is just plainly disgusting. I mean why show him surrounded by children as a kind of Santa Claus?
5) The characters don't talk, they make statements - often it's just hollow meaningless blather, not least in the case of the disgusting French character.
These are all questions of style (you like it or you don't), the movie in itself is not uninteresting - a kind of a mixture of The Ladykillers, Chinatown and Donnie Brasco and spy thrillers of the 1970ies. But it's all fairly overblown.
