well done, i think it is nice movie Franco Nero was amazing, he explained the other side opinion in a very nice way, and the movie show how the politicians in Israel are thinking when they caused this tragedy was always hearing about the conflict in middle east but this movie show me that these Arabs are not killers and they fight for a reason. Franco Nero moved my feeling indeed. why they don't try to make new version of this movie other than Munich, a version for the same story and with a same quality of work, again was really super in his performance.I think the movie didn't show the real true story about this event but at least they were so close to the fact.

21 Hours at Munich (1976) *** (out of 4) Pretty good made for TV movie about the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany where Arab terrorists kidnapped and murdered eleven Israeli athletes. I don't know the entire history of the events surrounding this attack but if this film stays true to what really happened then I can't help but blame the German government and their security at the Olympics. I really couldn't believe how stupid some of the decisions made where and I really wonder what this event would do in today's world where God knows there's a lot more media. As for the film itself, it's entertaining throughout but it never gets too dramatic and the direction lacks any real style or flair. William Holden gives a good performance as the head Munich guy trying to get everything done while Franco Nero steals the show as the head terrorist. Nero is downright brilliant in his part with a look that could kill. I liked how Nero played the part of a thinking man and this really comes across well.

I have no particular affinity for the Isralies. I just happen to believe that genocide is evil, no matter who the victims are. Wheteher is be Israeli, Darfur, or Sunni Muslims in Iraq, it is evil.This film did a credible job of showing this evil by giving us another picture of what happened in Munich in 1972. It should be seen by all to know how morally bankrupt those people are that practice genocide.William Holden gave a great performance in one of his last films as the police chief. Franco Nero (Camelot, The Virgin and the Gypsy) was equally good as the terrorist leader.Check this out when is shows on cable.

A semi-documentary movie about the terrorist attack on the Israeli team at the Olympic Games at Munich 1972. In opposite to later adaptations of the same historical event, "21 Hours at Munich" was shot on the original locations. However, it is a little bit less of a documentary than it seems at first, it does take a bit of creative freedom in the narration. Which has been criticized by some reviewers, but makes it a better movie after all. Excellent performances by William Holden as the police chief and Franco Nero as the terrorist leader, whose motivation is explained remarkably well. He is not just the one-dimensional Hollywood villain firing bullets in all directions. That was important to make the film believable, as well as the discussions between the politicians. Even it makes the movie quite wordy, the reasons why and when and how the police fights the terrorists are explained well. "21 Hours at Munich" is a movie you should watch, first for the tragic history that hopefully will never be repeated, second for its solid story telling and acting which is above the genre average.
