Munich (2005)
Director: Steven Spielberg
Movie review
From Time Out New York
The abduction and murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games—and Mossad's swift, secret revenge on the Palestinian terrorists responsible—are the weighty, real-life subjects of Steven Spielberg's explosive new drama, a major and timely accomplishment. Subtly shifting from eager, fresh-faced Israeli operative to haunted ex-spook, Eric Bana leads the film's terrific slate of performances, which also includes Geoffrey Rush's cool spymaster, future Bond Daniel Craig's gunman (as handsome a Jew as Charlton Heston's Ben-Hur) and Mathieu Amalric's secretive info supplier, a turn as wonderfully slippery as his work in this summer's Kings and Queen. Essential moviegoing.Author: JR
