Sword of Gideon (1986 TV Movie)
6/10
Interesting if tepid
28 December 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Offers a point of view examination of a group of Isreali Specialists hunting down and killing those Palestinians deemed to be responsible for the killing of Ireali Athletes at Munich . Little or no graphic violence and a predictable pace make this seem un-dynamic and rather stodgy. Most of the main characters are cartoonish caricatures of real operatives , and each specialist is it's own stereotype. ( Formed of the same soft-edged material that cast The Siege ) Fabulous portrayal of Golda Meir by Colleen Dewhurst , interesting if odd role for Rod Steiger , who for once seems engaged in the role .

Biggest Drawback : York plays the same guy in every film , doe it here with gusto. Almost impossible to see Steven Bauer as anything but Manny to Pachinos Scarface .
