Munich
'Munich' recounts the dramatic story of the secret Israeli squad assigned to track down and assassinate 11 Palestinians believed to have planned the 1972 Munich massacre -- and the personal toll this mission of revenge takes on the team and the man who leads it.
Been wanting to see this for a long time, but haven't got around to. But now I finally did.
Steven Spielberg isn't just doing big budget blockbuster, but also does little art projects. Many important themes are brought in this little gem such as revenge, paranoia and honor, especially focusing on the big concept of "eye for an eye". As the squad of Jew assassins pick off the terrorist members one by one, you observe on how their actions have take a toll on each other, their minds and their loyalty. Who they trust can be untrustworthy. When will it end.
Eric Bana blends seemlessly as Jew asskicker, Avner with Daniel Craig at his side. The espionage/assassination sequences are well done and bring up great tension and suspense. At close to three hours, it is a stretch for the audience. Very recommended.
4 out of 5 stars
