Wow

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2006)

This movie is beyond remarkable. What it must have been to the men who lived it, and their families. I was only eleven years old at the time of the Munich Games, but I do remember the news broadcasts during that time. I applaud Spielberg for bringing the incident to younger generations, and filling in the memories of the rest of us. Even though the movie runs 2 hours and 44 minutes, it doesn't seem like it at all. There is so much action and keeps you pinned on every word from the opening credits until the end. Bano's performance was beautiful! And despite the very serious nature of the subject, several lines scattered throughout the movie brought giggles from the audience. Bravo!
