Steven Spielberg directs Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush and Eric Bana in this suspense thriller inspired by the real kidnapping and murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics.
‘Munich’ recounts the dramatic story of the secret Israeli squad assigned to track down and assassinate 11 Palestinians believed to have planned the 1972 Munich massacre – and the personal toll this mission of revenge takes on the team and the man who leads it.
Critic Reviews:
- “It's a smart, mesmerizing and often angry film, from a truly confident filmmaker, but it remains, maddeningly, just beyond our grasp.” – Seattle Times
- “Everything that keeps it from being lovable could be looked upon as a virtue, and everything about it is intentional.” – San Francisco Chronicle
- “Munich ricochets all over the place, but it hits its target dead-on.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
