intense and mature

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2006)

It's not a usual Steven Spielberg's film; this time, the director that got us used to commercial and sentimental productions, has examined the consequences of Munich Black September with a thought-provoking movie. It is definitely very violent but greatly acted and surely compelling, moreover explores the political situation of that time in a meticulous and thorough way, showing at the same time how Israel operated after those terrorist acts. Perhaps runtime is too long but Munich is not at all the kind of movie that bores the audience, on the contrary it is so gritty and deep that you don't even realize it's getting a bit too long in the final part.
