Yes Munich. This movie is relates us to the events of Munich Olympic Games in 1972 (if i remember correctly), where a group of Israeli athletes were taken hostage and killed by a group of Palestinian terrorist known as the Black September. About 11 Israeli athletes were massacred. This film depicts Avner, a former oficcer/bodyguard to the Israeli PM, is called to perform some 'duties' for his country, after the massacre. He leads a four member assination team to hunt and assasinate those who are responsible for the Munich killings. There are so called agreements that they are not working for the gov or Mossad (Israeli intelligence agency).
The first part of the film does really depicts the actual events of the killing, from the how the Palestinians get into the Olympic Village till the actual killings. Then the film proceeds to tell the tales of how the group of 5 hunts & assasinate those who are responsible for the massacre. It is a film, which make some sense and makes one wonder, when will the killing stop, what is home to those who are fighting this war, is killing & assasination justified. For every terrorist killed, there is another - possibly a worse one - waiting to take his place.
In the end, the story tells that Avner is paranoid about his and his familiy's safety. He even sleep in the closet, just as one of his fellow comrades recalls that his other colleague sleeps in the closet, for his safety..!! Overall the film is near to 3 hours and it does helps to kill some time in Thailand..
