Munich

What I loved

Munich (2005), directed by Steven Spielberg, follows a team sent to kill men behind the 1972 AD Munich Olympics attack. Eric Bana plays Avner, the leader torn by duty. He starts sure but ends lost. Daniel Craig acts as Steve, hard and quick. Geoffrey Rush brings Ephraim, the cold handler. The film moves from Israel to Europe. Each kill feels close and messy. A bomb under a phone rings loud. John Williams's music stays low to let doubt grow. The cast speaks many tongues. Scenes cut between home meals and dark streets. The story runs two hours and forty minutes but holds tight with real weight.

Why You Should Watch

Watch this film if you seek a thriller that asks hard questions. It shows revenge up close without cheer. Bana gives quiet pain. Spielberg keeps facts near. If you like Zero Dark Thirty or The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, this one fits. It deals with right, wrong, and the toll of blood. The story suits all who want truth over easy wins.

Favourite Quote

"Every civilisation finds it necessary to negotiate compromises with its own values." – Ephraim

Takeaway

Munich teaches that an eye for an eye leaves all blind. It shows how orders break men. Avner learns home slips away. The film makes you think about peace, hate, and the cycle of kill. In the end, it leaves doubt and a call to stop.
