Munich

Meets the minimum requirement for any work dealing with the Israel-Palestine conflict, which is to recognise the situation's complexity - moral and otherwise - and the cycle of violence that accompanies it. I did feel a bit morally queasy during Munich's first hour or so, until it became clear that the film's program did indeed extend in that way, after which I was able to give myself over more fully to the suspense of its plot and the growing toll taken on Eric Bana's Avner by his actions as he faces questions of conscience, family and home in pursuing the plotters of the titular massacre.
