Additional InformationA thought-provoking surprise from famed director Steven Spielberg, MUNICH explores the after effects of the brutal terrorist attacks on the Israeli athletic team at that German city's 1972 Olympic Games. Loosely adapted from the book VENGEANCE by Hungarian George Jonas, the script was largely written by the provocative, award-winning playwright Tony Kushner (ANGELS IN AMERICA), who lends an incisive intelligence to the dialogue. The film begins with the violent sequence of the terrorists carrying out their attacks on the Israelis; a bloody and gruesome sequence that is deftly and beautifully handled by Spielberg and his brilliant cinematographer, Januzs Kaminski. Back in Israel, we meet the handsome and charming Avner, deeply in love with his beautiful, pregnant wife. Domestic bliss is short-lived however; immediately following these Black September attacks, Avner (THE HULK's Eric Bana), the son of an Israeli hero, is summoned by his country's famed secret service agency, the Mossad, to carry out violent retaliations against those Palestinian terrorists allegedly behind the Munich massacre. Commanded from afar by prickly government agent Ephraim (the inimitable Geoffrey Rush), Avner and his team of handpicked men pugnacious South African Steve (Daniel Craig), goofy ex-toy maker Robert (French actor Matthieu Kassovitz), morally conflicted Carl (Ciaran Hinds), and terse professional Hans (Hanns Zischler) must deal with some shady, nefarious international figures as they track down their Palestinian prey. Their mission takes them everywhere, from the villas of Rome to a seedy hotel in Cyprus, and with each successful kill, Avner's iron will begins to dissolve, and guilt and doubt begin to take hold of his conscience. Strong performances (particularly by the magnetic Eric Bana), gripping action, moral complexity, and a political urgency make the film not only consistently entertaining, but enormously important. Kushner and Spielberg work together to make it clear that the past informs the present, and the lingering final shot should leave viewers with much to think about.
ReviewsFilm 2006 - ...a thumpingly well-made superbly paced thriller, USA Today - This is a smart and often tense work....It's definitely powerful enough to make you wish he'd head in this direction more often, Entertainment Weekly - Included in Entertainment Weekly's Top Ten Films Of The Year -- Steven Spielberg's brilliant political thriller is a work of spectacular and unsettling excitement, Uncut - Spielberg has completed the process begun with simpler SCHINDLER'S LIST to become a truly adult director, with this, his bravest film

  • We should learn from the Israelis

    Boy, do they know how to deal with people who attack them! I well remember the outrage at the time, and this was quietly and effectively dealt with. Oh, and mercilessly. The film deals with the intrigue, the planning and the effect (on all sides) excellently. I had this DVD before, must have lent it out and not had it returned, and keep wanting to watch it again. I don't often watch films more than once, so it has to be (for me) quite special.
