The trailer for Casino Royale looks like it'll be more of the same, and not the grittier approach I would have hoped for.
I must wholeheatedly disagree. Munich is perhaps Speilberg's most powerful film. It's message will be as relative today as it will be tomorow and it's more than just about Arab-Israli relations. It's about what makes these men serve their cotunry. The nature of the vollence is grotesque and yet true. this is no holds bared and the actors don't hold back either. And I truly think bana gives a great performance along with others like Rush and yes, Daniel Craig whose role was relatively expendable.
The acting is subtle so maybe there is where you just missed what I saw in these men.
