Save your money - This one is really awful

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2005)

The Black September group that killed Israeli athletes at the Olympic games in Munich on September 5, 1972, gives this movie a starting point to convey a completely disjointed and confusing array of bloody murders carried out by what can only be described as an equally fanatical Jewish assassin and friends.
The scene cutting is confusing, perhaps even amateurish, with no clue or subtitle to indicate where in the world the scene is supposed to be, and Jewish or Arab language dialog should have included subtitles, but there was apparently no budget or interest, or both, to offer clues to the audience as to where a scene was taking place, or what was being said when not in English. This aspect of post production was just left out.
Basically, Munich (2005) is a long drawn out movie with repetitive murders, explosions, blood and guts with little or no discernible message except that Jewish killers are as brutal as Palastinian killers, and apparently this is supposed to be newsworthy or important, since it pretty much summarizes the entire plot.
For a movie based on real events, there was absolutely no explanation about the Black September group, who they were, and what they wanted to accomplish. This was simply an awful movie, and if you see it, demand your money back before it ends or they might claim you got your money's worth, which is impossible for this pathetic effort at story telling.
Spielberg should have watched a few episodes of 24 or Alias to get the idea about how to make use of rapid scene cutting, and action sequences, to make them relevant to an underlying story. Munich (2005) looked like a pile of film clips spliced together for only one purpose - shock and awe - with no purpose and clearly no redeeming value.
Save your money, and even more important, save your time. This movie is a complete waste of both.
