Overwhelming. In a good way.
To me, "overwhelming" defines so many aspects of this movie. The deep political tension, the task at hand, the emotional trauma, the expectations of the characters, the hopelessness. It left me feeling so much anxiety and unease that I didn't even realize that this movie was almost 3 hours long. I loved it. I thought that it was great that we got some insight into the people behind the special Israeli task force, and their personal relationship with what their job required of them. I can't help but love a movie that also attempts to give some insight into how deeply entangled the worldviews inside the Middle East are.

Munich is based on a book by a secret services agent. His real life ending was opposite to the movie, apparently. He didn't really mind what he had to do. That changed my opinion of the movie.
