Best movie I wish I never saw.

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2006)

Hello Moviegoers, Munich blew me away, and I think knowing it was a reflection of real events is what made it so devastating, I couldn't go to dinner afterwards.
On one level it's just a thriller with a historical thread, but as with so many war movies of the last fifteen years, the degree of realism is so intense.
Eric Bana, who was Hector in Troy, is the Israeli agent tasked with killing eleven of the men who planned the massacre at Munich. He approaches it with a soldiers cold intent, but as the assassinations proceed the murkiness of his assignment and the cold bloodedness of the killings begin to take their toll on him.
This is a stunningly well done movie exploring the nature of humanity and it's political institutions. We don't come off so good. But Reality is a bitch and pretending it ain't so won't do us any good either. Munich, We have met the enemy and it is us.
