Steven Spielberg has made yet another masterpiece.

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2005)

In 'Munich' Eric Bana plays Avner, officially a former Mossad agent who now works independently. Unofficially, he and four other Mossad agents have been contracted to eliminate those who planned a terrorist attack on their countrymen.
In 1972 a group called Black September assassinated 11 Israeli athletes at the Olympic games in Munich. Based on George Jonas' book 'Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team' this movie tells about how one group of men enacted Israel's retribution and the prices they had to pay.
Eric Bana is awesome in the film as a man who undergoes a dramatic change after what he does for his country, a country that cannot afford to acknowledge his existence. I also liked seeing Michael Lonsdale as Papa. People might remember him as Hugo Drax in Moonraker (my favorite Bond villain).
This is one of the best movies I have seen all year. Steven Spielberg has made yet another masterpiece. My only issue is that about 30 minutes should have been cut out near the end.
