By a customer from london,england , 15 Apr 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
The movie was too long and quite slow moving, but very suspensful, so it will keep you watching till the end.
Basically how an israeli mission gets botched up.- Was this review helpful to you?

(4)Sword of Gideon
By a customer from Bristol , 25 Oct 2009Enjoyable and thought provoking film.
Stephen Bauer utterly convincing in the title role.
the film 'Munich' also focused on the aftermath of the killings of the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic games - that film was not as raw.- Was this review helpful to you?

Could be sharper
By a customer from London , 31 Dec 2008This is the first swipe at the story of the covert Israeli reprisals that followed the Munich Olympics massacre, later dramatized in rather more muscular fashion by Steven Spielberg in 2005's 'Munich'. As this goes, it's a good tale, rather lengthy with a leading man who's a little too much on the blank side. But the dynamics of the story mean that there are some very suspenseful passages and it certainly represents the best of veteran director Anderson's latter day work.- Was this review helpful to you?

Interesting
By Botanicman (90 reviews) from Scotland , 12 Jul 2008Overlong, slow moving and dated.
Despite these criticisms, the film sensitively portrays an Israeli officer's dilemas as he struggles with hia conscience, when his government calls on him and his team to avenge the deaths of the Israeli athletes massacred by terrorists at the Munich olympics.
Based on a true story and raises the problem of how governments respond to acts of terrorism against their citizens.
Worth a watch.- Was this review helpful to you?
