Munich / Break Up - movie review

Munich – starring Eric Bana (The Hulk) & Daniel Craig (the new James Bond) and directed by Steven Spielberg. An intriguing movie that depicts the terrorist incident during the Munich Olympic in 1972 where Israelite Olympians were kidnapped and killed subsequently. All the perpetrators were of Palestinian background and most were killed during their getaway attempt at an airport. Thereafter, in revenge and to show the world that Israel can’t be bullied, the Israel government arranged for a mission led by the former prime minister’s bodyguard to hunt down the people behind the Munich incident. 11 names were given with 5 Israelites given the mission going around Europe hunting them down. Quite gory at times. Not advisable for young kids.

You must have an open mind to watch this show and shouldn’t judge who’s wrong or right as this is just a movie. Would say it’s quite sensitive & stunning but highly rated by me as the deep thoughts of those people were acted out. Too bad, I think it was banned in Malaysia too.

Break Up – starring Vince Vaughn & Jennifer Aniston. Both were living happily together but as time passed by, Jennifer felt that Vince wasn’t helping around the house. After numerous hinting and without Vince lifting a single finger, she had enough and broke up the relationship. As the nice apartment was under both of their names, they wouldn’t want to move out and endured each other’s presence in the house. During that period, both parties tried to break each other’s heart further by getting their way in the house by inviting their own friends to their house. One of their mutual friends finally got them to sell the house instead of destroying the apartment’s value. From there onwards, their individual life didn’t get any better. Why? Couldn’t find much meaning in this movie but Vince was really convincing in his role. If you have time like me, force yourself to see it.
