WORTH CONSUMING!
Everyone should see this movie. Especially with Sharon in the hospital and the focus once again on Israel/Arab politics. It is a work of historical fiction. Here is the history part.
  • The kidnap and death of Isralei’s by Palestinians during the Munich Olympics.
  • The targeted killing of Palestinians by Israel
  • The existence of secret assination squads on both sides
  • The complicancy (and outright protection) of the Soviet Union AND CIA in certain Palestinian organizers.
  • Information brokers did and do sell the whereabouts of people who don’t want to be found.

To make history interesting you need to dramaticize it and put a story around it. The personal story of the head of the secred Isralei hit squad is what makes this story so compelling. The fiction parts are the dialogue, the exact way the hits were carried out, the French family that sold information, and a couple other dramatic parts.

What the drama does is make you care about the people and issues before you on the screen in a way most documentaries don’t. That is why everyone must see this movie. Get a dose of history along with a dose of thought. It gives some interesting perspective to today’s middle east conflicts.

I rate this a 5 of 5.

WORTH CONSUMING!

you say it’s “worth consuming” and then try to summarize the entire thing in one very wrong sentence so people don’t have to consume it? do you see why i’m confused?

WORTH CONSUMING!

A fascinating film, but far from Spielberg’s best. It plays as a political thriller and character study, but doesn’t settle on which one it wants to be.
