I love authentic historic dramas

Plot

During the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, an American sports broadcasting team must adapt to live coverage the Israeli athletes being held hostage by a terrorist group..

This seems authentic

Especially, in eras in which I have lived.

Even boring, I hate to say

It's a story of which I am familiar and have seen told in various formats of film through the years.As stated in the above title, I found this telling most interesting of all.I saw Spielberg's Munich in the theater years ago and I remember still feeling that it was a bit overlong and bloated.

You are in the control room of ABC's Wide World of Sports when the tragic terrorist events occur during the Olympics in Germany in 1972Cigarettes are smoked

And metaphorical to a fault.This version of the facts is more taut, the run time for this film is shorter, and the clock is ticking in the movie, and the lives at stake.Also, airtime.

Rotary dial telephones are used for communicationAnd there is a major crisis unfolding in the Olympic villageIt's a good history lesson for Gen-ZEven appropriate for grade level history in classrooms, middle school and up, I would think but it's rated R, so noBut history is hardly ever prettyJohn Magaro and Ben Chaplin shine most brightly with their stellar performancesThis is worth a trip to the cinemaIt wouldn't be a terrible idea to bring your high school aged child to the theater with you for this oneThey could stand to learn a little historyThey'll walk out with you afterwards and say, Did that really happen?
