| "Spielberg shoots Munich without showy virtuosity, yet his camera seems to be everywhere at once, and John Williams' score is like a telltale heartbeat."
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"John Williams' subdued, flavorful score is perhaps as atypical as is his concurrent one for Memoirs of a Geisha, the film Spielberg once intended to make himself."
Todd McCarthy, Variety
"Normally, I love any film -- The Dirty Dozen being the template -- in which a number of disparate die-hards club together to whack a common enemy. Spielberg himself embellished the genre in Saving Private Ryan, and I had high hopes for his band of brothers in Munich. And what do we get? The Friendly Five. The precedent is set at the men's getting-to-know-you dinner: as the dialogue fades out, we watch them laughing and chomping en bloc, with a surge of guitar and strings, courtesy of John Williams, egging them along."
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
"Designer Rick Carter never shows off period details, Michael Kahn's editing builds suspense in the individual sequences in a Hitchcockian manner as John Williams' muted score quickens the pulse."
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter |
