Has anybody seen the film "Munich" yet?
If you haven't you should. Very good and very stirring. Before I saw it, I thought it was going to be biased towards Israel. Nothing could be further from the truth. It depicts a fair account of on all fronts particularly with the main characters, their shortcomings and struggles to complete their assignment of eiliminating the ring leaders of the tragic Olympic Massacre at Munich in 1972. Excellent cast as well.

3. I saw it last weekend....
I found it so disturbing that I left my seat twice. I don't think I'm going to be able to see films that upset me like this anymore. I guess I just can't take it anymore.

4. Very powerful, moving film
It's definitely not for the faint of heart, though.

5. Not fond of the movie
plenty of killing, bored with the details of the logistics. Next to last scene made no sense to me. Not one of Spielberg's best, but that's just me.

6. saw it right away
After it came out. With the exception of the sex scene which I think the poster above is referring to, I thought it was excellent. It really captured the dehumanizing effects of revenge by violence.
