Munich (2005)

Cast: Eric Bana, Daniel Craig, Ciarán Hinds

Director: Steven Spielberg

Genre: thriller, drama, history

Steven Spielberg has absolutely everything at his disposal, he can make
an epic in no time at all. But, even he must know that films, most
films have a soul and that can’t be rushed. Why the need to rush this
film into screens? For Oscar consideration? If there was a film that
needed nurturing and thought was this one. The length is a flaw in
itself. It makes it appear self indulgent and, quite frankly,annoying.
If one could, and one should, put that aside, "Munich" is a remarkable
experience. Tony Kushner and Eric Roth deal with people in all its
complexity – a welcome new detail in a Spielberg film – and that gives
"Munich" its most powerful aspect. Eric Bana is extraordinary and the
humanity of his gaze is confusing and recognizable at the same time.
His crying at hearing his child’s voice over the phone is as real as
his hardness when he massacres his targets. The controversy raising
after the first public screenings seems pre-fabricated by a marketing
machine. The questioning of Bana’s character and the appalling nature
of revenge can’t be controversial it’s at the base of human nature. To
call Spielberg "no friend of Israel" is as absurd as it is suspicious.
No, this movie is a thriller, based on actual events, directed by the
greatest craftsman of the last 30 years in a record amount of time. Go
see …
