Munich - Stephen Spielberg.
Man this film was fantastic. Bana was brilliant as the family man turned assassin. He's also a fantastic chef. The acting was superb throughout I thought.
The scene with the PLO agent on the stairs and then the look they give each other later was priceless. I was also nice to see that speech on the stairs mirrored by Bana's mother in the movie showing that both sides are after the same thing. A place on earth for their people to live.
I'm sure the political side of it will be endlessly discussed, but I thought it was handled pretty well without being overly biased.
The hostage scene being nicely shown at the start and in a couple of flashback sequences later in the movie.
Of course how much is fiction and how much is fact is debatable, but this is Spielberg at his best and for once he doesn't put in a soppy ending to highlight that the events in the movie have never ended. Especially as it takes place in Brooklyn with the twin towers in the background.
A must see.
