this film is biased, but not in ways many will find

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2006)

contrary to some posts here, this film is biased, but whether that is a fault of its production or a biased opinion of its producers is hard to tell.
my reasons for this are simple, if you sit down and thoroughly read through the facts of the Munich siege you notice a lot of things missing from the film, and some of it is shown in a light that makes the terrorists (and sometimes the Palestinians as a whole) look like they were cold blooded animals, what is depicted in the film is for bits of the actual story, known to be not true.
also, the film is based on the book Vengeance which the author of the said book claims to be the team leader, but many people with first hand accounts of all that happened during and after Munich dispute his claims to this.
other than that the film is OK, though some bits are horrific and are not for the easily distressed, towards the end of the film though it does tend to drag and the ending was a little pointless.
this isn't a film i'll be in a hurry to watch again and I wont be buying it on DVD, I feel Spielberg has regained some of his credibility in this film after the abysmal War of the Worlds, but he still has a lot to go
