The Good
Bana is astonishingly good as a man stifling his humanity in the face of a job he believes in. There’s also superb support from Rush, Craig and Hinds.
The Great
Shooting in a style that echoes classic 1970s thrillers, Spielberg orchestrates a number of terrifically exciting suspense scenes. Interestingly, the Palestinians are hardly ever portrayed as stereotypical bad guys – rather, they’re family men, intellectuals, academics and the like, which leads to a complex series of emotions for both Avner and the audience.
This is a brutal, uncompromising film – there’s none of Spielberg’s trademarked sentimentality here, something that’s profoundly illustrated when Avner takes revenge of his own, leaving us open-mouthed with shock.
Worth seeing?
In short, Munich is an intensely gripping, provocative and timely thriller that questions the very concept of political revenge. Unmissable.
