Skip Munich and rent this version-- better, tighter script, direction and photography.
In Munich, Eric Bana looks like a deer in the headlights for most of the film. Steven Bauer much more effective, not surprising as he is a better actor. Same for the rest of the cast.
In Munich, angst is way overblown and takes up too much of the film. It takes away from the little suspense the film generates. Avner as portrayed by Bauer has many layers and is a complex individual. Bana's Avner seems just a portrayal of a man in over his head.
Munich has two excellent performances-- the father and son French crime syndicate leaders-- performances in SOG solid across the board.
