Very intriguing film

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2006)

Spielberg has once again directed a film that not only entertains you but keeps you thinking long after the credits roll. Munich manages to tell a true story with just enough embellishment to keep it entertaining while sometimes blurring the documentary line. Sometimes in the film he reminds us we are still in the narrative realm by being somewhat melodramatic. The violence is there too making it look creepily real. The idea of squads of assassins roaming the streets waging a secret war on each other leaving civilians in their wake is scary to say the least. The film had me captured from the beginning until the end and congratulations to Spielberg for directing yet another great film that will probably stand the test of time.
