Munich

Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Eric Bana, Daniel Craig, Ciaran Hinds
Year: 2005

**

This film finally quenched that thirst you sometimes get for intelligent action movies. Unlike Ironman and others of that genre which are, in their own ways, spectacular to see and enjoy, Munich offers a shovel too so you can dig into the character as deep as you'd like to.

It tells of the aftermath of the 1972 Israeli massacre and the secret operations led by the Israeli government to assassinate the Arab individuals thought responsible for it.

But what struck me most was the... technology! The world before the Internet! It was SO refreshing... The tensions of not having things be signaled in a millisecond... it's wonderful to watch on screen.

Acting remains top-class, as does direction. Watch it on a rainy day... it'll make you forget it, or listen to it more!

Rate: 7/10
