Netflix: In this thriller based on actual events, Palestinian terrorists hold hostage and ultimately kill a group of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics. In the tragic aftermath of the infamous murders, a Mossad agent (Eric Bana) tracks down the assassins. Ciaran Hinds and Geoffrey Rush co-star in this film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Tony Kushner (award-winning playwright of "Angels in America").
I say: This wasn't that great....The story wasn't really that captivating....Jesus...Jews killing Arabs, Arabs killing Jews. I kept expecting more, but alas, I should have learned to be now dissappointed with Spielberg movies....This bastard kinda drug along. Certainly not as bad as Schindler's List, but really fucking close. Gotta say that I really like Geoffrey Rush, and I thought he was really good in this movie, (as he always is, a magnificant actor), but even his amazing talents can't carry an entire 3 hour Dreamworks SKG bore-o-rama. Skip it.
I like renting movies to watch @ home, but let's be honest, most of them suck. However there is an occasional gem, so why should you wade through the crap? No in depth verbose commentary, or incredibly witty insight, just me mouthing off. I use NetFlix for my DVD rental, and so should you. They rule.
