Review of Munich (2005) by Matthew D — 20 Feb 2016
As an impartial look at the Israeli-Palestine conflict this is important and that it mostly manages to do so is impressive given the set-up of following the Israeli revenge squad. However, Spielberg once again jettisons history for story, but the message is obvious within minutes and the philosophical and discussion very artificial (and they are pretty unlikely to have taken place).
Spielberg as always gets fine performances from his perfect casting, but he fails to create suspense and by the end of nearly three hours it loses its way, much like the main character, and any engagement gets lost.
