Hakeem reviews Spielberg's Munich

Posted by: MacReady

Our critic Hakeem went to cinema and watched Steven Spielberg's "Munich". This film is an historical thriller set in the aftermath of the 1972 massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. And it doesn't seem that Spielberg worked his magic on this movie. Here is a small snippet from the review:

...I really don't care about the political messages the movie wants to give me, what I want is a movie, with good characters and a good story, it's even better if I really get into it emotionally. That happened to me with Munich, but it lost me, especially at the 2 hour mark, when the movie should've ended instead of changing shifts for some uninteresting 45 more minutes...

Be sure and read Hakeem's complete review right here.

"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 led it. Eric Bana ("Troy") stars as the Mossad agent charged with leading the band of specialists brought together for this operation.
