Since I have nothing better to do than watch movies and play online... I will probably be doing lots of reviews until people get sick of me.
MUNICH. Directed by Steven Speilberg, Starring Eric (Hulk) Bana and Daniel (the new James Bond) Craig.
I liked the movie a lot. It shows a deplorable act of violence and the violence that followed it. The movie is balanced pretty fairly, the Israelis are clearly the "good guys" but the enemies aren't really that bad so to speak. They have families and friends just like everyone else. In fact one of the more interesting things the film shows is how the hit squad struggles with their mission to eliminate there targets. It shows them struggle with it morally and also struggle with the ways and means they use to try to complete the mission. The only real problem I had with it was the opening credits says "Based on Actual Events". Not based on a true story. This is hollywoods way of saying this kinda happened but we are going ot take some (or is it lots of?) creative license. Also towards the end there is a scene....
Other than that it was a real good movie and I recommend it.
3.5/5 OSNN Stars
I'm gonna try to review Syriana soon and probably Brokeback Moutain. Like I said at the top I watch lots of movies, if you have a request let me know!
Thanks for reading.

where Eric Bana's character reunites with his wife, they have sex and the love scene is intercut with scenes of the killings of the Olympic team and their captors. There is nothing more inappropriate in my eye's then seeing a guy thrust and then cutting away to a guy getting shot or blown up. Just my opinion but I'd call that some poor editing.
Other than that it was a real good movie and I recommend it.
