Munich (2005) 5/10

Starring : Eric Bana, Daniel Craig, Ciaran Hinds, Mathieu Kassovitz
Director : Steven Spielberg
Running Time : 164 mins

Following the assassination of a number of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, a team of expendable Mossad agents – lead by a man named Avner (Bana) - is brought together to take out anyone who was involved in the deaths, while keeping their eyes out for any foreign agents that might be out to stop their assassination attempts..

I really couldn’t concentrate on this movie – I constantly found myself wondering how much longer there was to go and if anything exciting was going to happen. The problem with this movie is that there is little or no passion, and this clearly comes across through both the actors and the director, as well through the ridiculous run time that feels like someone just couldn’t be bothered to edit it. If you’re looking for an engaging movie from Spielberg, stick with Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
