What a needlessly long, wandering, aimless movie. The initial idea could have been interesting. But the scenario was weak, as was the direction, Spielberg or not. « Munich » simply fails to make us care, even about something as gut wrenching as the disaster that took place at the airport where all the hostages were killed. It has not even historic dimension.
You want to learn about the birth of Israel and the 1967 war, read « O Jerusalem » by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins. You want to navigate the shady world of terrorism and counter-terrorism, read « The Little Drummer Girl » by John Le Carre. You want to see how people can be both monsters and loving beings, watch Costa-Gavras’ « Music Box ».
There is nothing memorable about « Munich ». Skip it. 5.5/10
