Moviegoers beamed up J. J. Abrams‘ Star Trek reboot to the No. 1 spot at the North American box office, with a solid $72.5 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.

MUNICH Review III

Mathieu Kassovitz, Eric Bana in Munich

MUNICH Review: Part II
A seriously miscast Eric Bana doesn’t help matters any. Bana may look great with his shirt off, but he fails to convey both Avner’s dedication to the fight and his ever-multiplying inner demons. While hunting his targets, the actor seems as hapless as Inspector Clouseau, and each time he gets to kill someone, he looks as squeamish as if he were going to clip his victim’s really dirty fingernails. Worse yet, there’s the accent problem.
As in Schindler’s List, the casting of English-speaking actors as continental Europeans and Israelis robs Munich of some much-needed authenticity. Bana and a horrendously over-the-top Geoffrey Rush (as Mossad officer Ephraim), both Australians, come up with grating imitations [...]

MUNICH II – Eric Bana

MUNICH Review: Part I
On the positive side, for the first time since Bruce feasted along the New England coast Spielberg has made a film in which the strings are only sporadically visible. The fact that he had to rush through production in order to have Munich ready by year’s end — this is reportedly the first film he has directed without relying on storyboards — helped to give this philosophical actioner an edge it might otherwise have lacked. The film’s technical aspects are generally first-rate, while John Williams provides what could well be both the most understated and the most effective score of his career.
And since the film in question is a thriller, Spielberg and editor Michael Kahn keep [...]

Alternately intriguing and irritating, thought-provoking and banal, subtle and patronizing, the biggest surprise about Steven Spielberg’s Munich is that it — however grudgingly — works. The film, which Spielberg himself has referred to as "prayer for peace," follows five men contracted by Israel to avenge the massacre of that country’s athletes during the 1972 Olympic Games in [...]
