Incredibly average!

Let me try to start catching up on the backlog of movies with one of the more pleasant experiences. Eric Bana is the lead in this dark drama by Steven Speilberg about a group of Isreali intelligence agents who are given the responsibility of exacting vengence on those responsible for the slaying of Isreali atheletes during the 1972 Munich Olympic games.

This film is host to a number of excellent performances including Bana's but two of the most memorable are turned in by Cirin Hinds who you may be seeing again at Oscar time and Daniel Craig, who bows as James Bonds next month in Casino Royale.

Hinds plays a veteran agent who is physically, emotionally and morally exhausted by all that he has seen. He serves as Bana's unlikely conscience and is the first and most vocal sceptic about the groups missions and actions. Craig turns in a performance the is almot pure Steve Mcqueen and is a joy to watch.

An excellent tense, smart thiller, Munich is likely to please.
