Review – Sword of Gideon

Munich 19 years before Munich. This long, made-for-Canadian-TV production tells the tale of an Israeli hit team assembled to exact revenge on some of the terrorists responsible for the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre. Though this isn’t as slick or expensive as the Spielberg version, it does do a better job of capturing some of the human emotion involved in such a morally difficult and physically dangerous task. Mildly amusing
