Munich can't quite achieve its lofty goals, but this thrilling, politically even-handed look at the fallout from an intractable political conflict is still well worth watching. Read critic reviews

After the murder of 11 Israeli athletes and their coach at the 1972 Olympics, the Israeli government secretly assigns Avner Kaufman (Eric Bana) to carry out a series of strategic retaliations. With the help of a driver (Daniel Craig), a forger (Hanns Zischler), a bomb-maker (Mathieu Kassovitz) and a former soldier (Ciarán Hinds), Avner conducts a worldwide operation, targeting 11 individuals. As the assassinations pile up, Avner begins to doubt the morality of his actions.

Audience Reviews for Munich

    One of Spielberg's strongest films. Munich is dark, intelligent, thrilling and very well written.

    Overlong and lacking in closure, Munich still manages to engage thanks to a memorable band of unlikely teammates and a constant sense of danger and unpredictability.

    I'm not sure exactly what to say about this film. A lot of controversy has been started over its accuracy and political stances, and yes I did wonder about that too, but this is a decent and dark film by Spielberg. It remains politically neutral but is also unrestrained and violent. I would say this is about as effective as say, Saving Private Ryan (you can determine for youself if that is a good or bad thing).
