Good film, not what I expected

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2006)

This was a pretty good film. The trailers I saw on TV lead me to believe this would be a classical assassination thriller with a focus on the historical aspect of the crimes committed by the terrorists in Munich during the Olympics.
This was not a classic assassination or cloak and dagger film. The assassination team sent out by the Israelis was inexperienced and were a bit bumbling. Granted, they accomplished a lot. If you are looking for a film like the Bourne series, you may be a bit disappointed.
It seemed a bit long. They could have cut to the point near the end a little sooner. It just seemed too long for so little action or purpose at the end of the movie.
It is a very good story and it certainly is worth watching.
