Spielberg has done a good job. There's no doubt about that. The only problem is the issue is far too complicated to actaully capture on celluloid.
If you want to know what really happened, you should read the documentary book "ONE DAY IN BLACK SEPTEMBER" by Simon Reeves. It is an hour by hour recollection of that actually happened and how the disater could've been avoided. Then it revals the MOSSAD hit teams mission-- On what the movie is primarily based.
So yes, Lots of things, real facts have gone missing a bit in the movie. Trash the stupid cab driver
Daniel Craig. Nothing like that really. There should have been some revelation as of how or why it happened at all in the first place. How The Israelis and German Govt goofed it up when they still had time.
Then, I feel, for such a serious plot the startcast should have been better. Agent Avner's role played by Bana is good. The bloke has done an intense job. But in reality it is far more gruelling and gut renching than that.
It is a good flick. A thought provoking one. But for those who've researched the incident and know the facts expected a bit more in the script.
