Review of Munich (2005) by Jeff H — 21 Apr 2011
Munich is a powerful film detailing the operation dubbed "Operation Wrath Of God" a secret mission carried out by the Israeli Mossad to target and murder Palestinians responsible for the September 5, 1972 Munich Massacre where 11 Israeli Athletes were murdered by Palestinians Black Friday Operatives.
Spielberg's film has polarized many, due to the obvious fact that people are strongly separated over the sensitive issue. I won't list my personal beliefs in this review. Munich is based on Canadian Journalist George Jonas' book, Vengeance.
The film recounts the retaliatory attacks on those responsible. Spielberg tells an important story amidst the strong political message. Spielberg is not one shy away from a controversial subject and this is very true of Munich.
This film examines every aspect, and the motivation as to why the Israeli secret service undertook such an undertaking. Munich has a terrific cast of actors and they all deliver great performances. Spielberg combines action, drama, suspense into one of the most politically driven thrillers to ever grace the screen.
Munich is a flawless film. Everything is superb about it, and the message that Spielberg tries to convey is very clear. This film is one of Steven Spielberg's greatest films, and I think it's an important film to watch for people who don't fully understand the real nature of the matter in the Middle East.
Munich is a flawless action thriller and is one of Spielberg's best.
