Epic ...an Instant Classic

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2005)

Went to the Loew's Lincoln Center to catch the 10:30 p.m. showing of Barebacking Cowboys. After the first 20 minutes of boredom, predictable storyline, more boredom, lame situations...got up and exchanged that ticket for the 10:40 p.m. showing of Munich.
I have not written a review in quite some time. Why? There hasn't been anything released in the past year and a half that I would pay to see or even download on Gnutella. How refreshing it was to finally have the lights go down, sit back, and enjoy a film from beginning to end -- and become thoroughly engaged without having my common sense and I.Q. insulted by lame, disconnected, illogical situations -- and bad acting from over the hill so far gone "stars/movie actors".
Munich is a masterpiece. From beginning to end it engages you and leaves you wanting more like the best sex you ever had -- multiple orgasms. I recommend this film highly to anyone who was old enough in 1972 to remember the tragedy of the '72 Olympic games and the political scandals and cover-ups that followed. And for those that were not around back then, this is probably the best visual history of it you will ever experience. 3 hours, but worth every second. Will leave you wanting to know more of what happened with the central character.
