Movie Review: "Munich"

Steven Spielberg's "Munich" is an excellent film and can be viewed in 2 ways. There is the debate about retribution, which provides an ongoing moral undergirding to the action scenes. Arguments can be made on both sides of the retribution debate, and I don't really want to go into that here. The movie will, however, make you think about it, as Spielberg does no preaching and lets the audience make up their own minds. Rather, for now I would like to focus on the action aspect of it, which is great. The planning, preparation and implementation of a disposal action is intense, and the violence can be sudden and sharp. The acting is great all around, as are the locations and costumes (Louis is a great character). While it addresses serious topics, in this case it's just a very well-done, entertaining movie, so enjoy it in that sense if nothing else.
