Strip all the red tape away and change the names and faces, and what remains is a gripping and balanced point-to-point thriller whose lesson ˆ when you kill your enemy, you give birth to two more ˆ is as poignant (and timely) as it is common sense. That the faces and names are real only exponentiates the intrigue. Eric Bana, Daniel Craig, Ciaran Hinds, Mathieu Kassovitz and Geoffrey Rush, among others, star.
Extras: Spielberg introduction, five behind-the-scenes features, Munich feature. A non-limited edition, featuring just the introduction, also is available.
Grade: A
