Great Movie+ As if Spielberg can do anything else

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2005)

MUNICH is an excellent movie and deserves every award given. Having said that it could stand to be a little shorter. At 2 hours and 44 minutes one starts to notice the time past by the numbness in the butt. The story is the aftermath of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games terrorist attack. 11 Isreali hostages were taken and killed. The story revolved around what the Mossad (Isreali version of the CIA) did to those who funded and planned the attack. Eric Bana is surprisingly good in the role. He shows the guilt of an assassin as well as the determination of person doing what he believes is the right and true thing to do. Ciran Hinds is equally good and deserves award nominations as the cleaner This film is action packed and very thrilling. It does not shy away from blood and gore. Bombs are detonated and you see the true aftermath. People are shot and don't just grab where they were supposedly shot and fall over. You see the blood. Definitely earned the rating of R. Spielberg cares for the material and is shown in every minute of the movie
