A Masterful Story About Revenge and Redemption
|
Steven Spielberg's Munich is a fantastic look into the world of revenge and redemption. During the Olympic Games in Munich, we know that several athletes were assassinated. This movie shows the fictional aftermath of that tragedy. A group of men, all with different skill sets, are hired by a hidden group to kill the killers. Things don't go as planned and the suspense and tension is ratcheted up. Spielberg's reputation is further honored by watching how events play out.
For its first time on Blu-ray, the A/V quality is very good. Picture is clear (but expect visual flourishes that Spielberg is known for) and grainy where it has to be. The lossless audio is excellent. When the building explodes, it felt like it was real.
The extras are the same from the DVD except you don't get the nice outer cover and the postcards.

Vengeance
|
This film was not well received in some circles upon its initial release due to the political climate of the day. This film was not one of Steven Spielberg's more successful ventures, even with good reviews from most critics. Terrorism was present back in the 1970s and it is still present today and will unfortunately continue into the future. This is a fictional account of the 1972 Summer Olympic killings of the Israel national team and Israel's quest to hunt down the killers and those behind the killings. This film shows the price of vengeance that has to be paid and the heavy toll taken on the people in charge of pursuing those responsible for the murders. This Blu-ray is a Best Buy exclusive. The Blu-ray AV quality is excellent.
