Theatrical report

Munich is really long but whatcha gonna do? Walk out before everyone dies? Not a chance.

There's lots of good spy stuff. There's lots of violence stuff. There's lots of revenge stuff.

Eric Bana is looking nicely buff these days, without going overboard into Hollywood Hero mode.

And finally, a little friendly advice: when you're in the cinema watching Munich, don't stand up, wave your hands in the air and shout "Allahu akbar!" It doesn't go down well.
