Review by someone who has seen the movie

"Don’t think for a minute that I’m saying this is a political movie. Munich is doggedly apolitical. Instead Tony Kushner’s script tries something that for Michael Moore would probably be unimaginable: it’s fair. Neither side is exactly squeaky clean, and whether their deeds are evil or not, often even the worst killers are motivated by the same things we all are. When under attack, they try to protect their wives and children. A dying assassin stops to say goodbye to her cat, before collapsing in a gut wrenching pool of blood. Some try to escape, some turn and sacrifice themselves to save their brethren. Every death in this movie hurts, not just the deaths of the good guys, but the apparently bad ones as well."

If the death of the bad guys hurts the viewer then the good guys are in fact not good guys.

Moral equivalence.

Next a movie on how the 9/11 terrorist really suffered when the planes hit the buildings.

Does the movie show what a bunch of inept fools the Germans were in the whole affair? Shooting at each other instead of the terrorists.
