"Every civilization finds it necessary to negotiate compromises with its own values...."
During the summer Olympics at Munich in 1972, 11 Israeli athletes were held hostage by an Arab Terrorist Group called Black September and were subsequently executed. At the aftermath, the Israeli secret service - Mossad embarked on Operation Wrath of God, which meant executing the terrorists responsible for the deaths of the Israeli athletes. This film deals with Operation Wrath of God. Spielberg weaves a detailed tale of the events which potrays the human side of assassins and terrorists.
Eric Bana is great in an underplayed role, the editing is brilliant and there is the trademark Spielberg style throughout the film.
