And the bit sharing a safe-house with a bunch of Pallies was just ridiculous. They just had to show us the humanity of the animals.I have to remind people when they bring up that movie that the entire thing was make believe. That is not how the operation went down and not how Mossad operated.
The two good points were the accurate portrayal of the hostage situation in Munich at the beginning and the re-enactment of Operation Spring of Youth, which itself wasn't a shot for shot re-enactment but delivered the overall feel and technique that Sayerat Maktal used to carry it out (dressing up as women, etc.).

And in the end the Eric Bana / Avner character is worried that the Mossad is trying to kill him. WTF??? There was just too much wrong with that flick.

For the incident itself, they’re better off watching “21 Hours At Munich.” Although the casting is a bit weird (Bill Holden as a German police chief ?), it works. A far superior film (and made for tv).
