I, too, saw 'Munich'. I saw it on Sunday and still feel like I'm recovering from it. I liked it. It is shot very well. It's paced well. Like iSm says it does not take sides. But what it does instead of sway you is it makes you feel very frustrated that the problems between the two sides will never, ever end. It made me frustrated.

Spoiler:

Spoiler: What's equally as frustrating to me is Spielberg's choice for a final shot of this film. Although I agree with him that 9/11 had everything to do with problems in the Middle East and fundamentalism, I felt that he was once again putting 9/11 images into his films (like he did with 'War of the Worlds') thus making it feel like he is exploiting what happened. This is also an another example to me how Steven needs to lighten up and do some escapist films once again. He's no fun anymore. And the only reason I can identify this in him is that I feel I do that too...
