Mathieu Kassovitz, Eric Bana in Munich

MUNICH Review: Part II
A seriously miscast Eric Bana doesn&#8217;t help matters any. Bana may look great with his shirt off, but he fails to convey both Avner&#8217;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&#8217;s really dirty fingernails. Worse yet, there&#8217;s the accent problem.
As in Schindler&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UNFASHIONABLE
Despite the complex and gripping real-life basis for Mivtsa Yonatan / Operation Thunderbolt &#8212; the 1976 hijacking of a Tel Aviv-Athens-Paris Air France flight &#8212; director-co-producer-co-scenarist Menahem Golan managed to make a film utterly devoid of suspense, depth, or intelligence.
