Moral ambiguity and bad fashion collide in 1970s Europe. Spielberg tells us old news--revenge is an ugly and dehumanizing business--but does so with all the skill you'd expect from an acknowledged master of the medium. Tremendous attention to detail, an inherently fascinating story (the aftermath of murders at the '72 Olympics), and strong performances stand as the film's strongest selling points. There are a couple of minor problems (the washed-out cinematography is distracting, and the film runs just a little too long), but nothing to pull down the overall rating. Oh, and pay close attention to the final shot--if you don't, the maker's message might totally go to waste. Posted .
