A very good movie, although a bit long.

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2006)

I still remember the exact time ABC Sports announced "They're all gone". The movie refers to the massacre by breaking it up as the movie progresses, from the terrorists receiving aid in jumping the Olympic Village gate ,unbeknownst to the unwitting helpers, through to the totally botched German commando "rescue", a rescue resulting in the death of every Israeli athlete and coach. With some exception, the movie pretty well covers factually how the Palestinians responsible for planning the massacre were hunted down throughout Europe and individually killed. The moral questions involved in retribution and revenge were touched upon, almost but not quite rubbing our noses in it. The acting and cast were superb, as was the directing.
