Spielberg's worst

Rating: 6/10 (15 September 2007)

The story had potential and Spielberg dived into most of it. Maybe too much of it.
Great performance by Eric Bana, but the rest of the cast does nothing except Mathieu Kassovitz, who has a great scene, in one of the movie's preachy scenes. Spielberg, a master of re-creation, doesn't fail here. His interpretation of the Black September is terrifyingly real, aided by Kaminski's camera-work and Kahn's editing.
The movie runs too long. I usually don't have a problem with running time, but it tends to drag towards the middle. It's preachy also, which bored me more.
Overall: 6/10 2/4 3/5 B-
