    The story had potential and Spielberg dived into most of it. Maybe too much of it.

    Great performance by Eric Bana, but the rest of the cast does nothing except Mathieu Kassovitz, who has a great scene, in one of the movie's preachy scenes. Spielberg, a master of re-creation, doesn't fail here. His interpretation of the Black September is terrifyingly real, aided by Kaminski's camerawork and Kahn's editing.

    The movie runs too long. I usually don't have a problem with running time, but it tends to drag towards the middle. It's preachy also, which bored me more.

    Overall: 6/10 2/4 3/5 B-

    Munich is an interesting, thoughtful and enthralling film that would've been made even better with some more editing. Some scenes felt redundant at times, and it's a bit too long at 164 minutes, but it's still definitely worth watching.

    Seeing Munich, I never knew what to expect because I never heard or knew about that time in history but it raised several questions, which merit review, and to be fair, repeat viewing.
    Were we supposed to side with and or sympathize with Avner and his crew?
    We were still on their side even though Spielberg threw so much horror into the work, letting us watch their dehumanization and their work borne misery.
    Does global terrorism now just reflect a thirst to make a point, as opposed to a genuine political ‘need’?
    What I understood about the political side is that Israel wanted to send out a strong message to the PLO (Arabs nation); is that they can be equally as brutal as there enemy.
    Why did Avner never ask Luis why he sent four Palestinian gunmen to the same safe house in Athens? I do not believe that Luis was fond about Avner breaking the rules I believe it was more of a penalty than trying to get him killed. However, Luis but Avner closer to his target (their bodyguards)
