Munich

One of the best films of 2005. Steven Spielberg's second film of the year is based on the true story of a group of Israeli hitmen hired to assassinate the people responsible for killing their countrymen at the 1972 Olympics and it's quite a tour de force. Everything about this movie is pitch perfect, and it's extremely violent and filled with interesting details. It's a little long, but it's barely noticeable since the movie is totally engrossing. Eric Bana finally got a role that shows off what he can do as an actor, and the rest of the cast is fantastic (it co-stars the new James Bond, Daniel Craig!) as well. Check it out!
