Munich The problem with losing friends

Rating: 4/10 (22 June 2014)

***Spoiler Alert*** In the movie "Munich" it provides a theatrical look at the events that happened to the Israeli Olympic Team in 1972, along with detailing the events that happened afterward, or the untold story. The untold story about how Israel sent a hit squad to kill the eleven people who orchestrated the kidnapping and massacre of the team. The hit squad is led by someone who is not used to being the lead man of a group of people who are put together just to kill people, Avner Kaufman (Eric Bana). He finds it hard in the beginning to kill people but after killing a couple of people he begins to find it easier and easier to do so. This ends up being the moral dilemma for him that he is killing people and doing a good job at it. As him and his team are going on about extracting vengeance he learns that now he one of the people being hunted. And then begins to see his teammates being executed. The lighting in the film also transition with the attitude that Avner is feeling and the distress that he is feeling. During the beginning of film when he first sets out to conduct his hit job the lighting is somewhat light but then as his team continues to kill and they are ones being hunted the lighting changes to dark along with the mood and the feelings that the team has for the killings. This film could be compared to very loosely to "Windtalkers" directed by John Woo and starring Nicolas Cage where the ability to kill someone and losing your teammates becomes the theme of the movie.
