Engaging drama except for a couple uber lame scenes

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2008)

Would've given it more points if someone had edited out the preposterous flashbacks to an event in Munich at which the main character was not present. I feel sorry for the relatives of the real Israeli athletes for the tacky association of their tragedy with some murder-for-hire guy humping his wife.
Also struggled with the scene of Louie's papa preparing a big family dinner at their country estate and chatting up the Israeli assassin. Having lived in France, I can say that the mere concept of a wealthy man preparing a big family meal is a joke. But the blindfolded guest and instant bonding are even more cornball.
