Munich is one of those works of art that touches on matters related to current events, politics, and history just enough to prompt all manner of pundits, activists, and politicians to seize upon it for their own purposes.

It's a brutal, merciless, somber picture, utterly devoid of the heart-tugging sentimentality that always creeps into even his best films.
