The first minutes of "Munich" unfold at speed. Eight Palestinians scale the fence of the Olympic Village, enter the quarters of the Israeli athletes, and take them hostage. We know the consequence, and the director, Steven Spielberg, tells it with a busy blend of news footage--ABC's Jim McKay saying, "They're all gone," as the athletes' fate becomes clear--and dramatic reconstruction. The events in Germany in 1972 are not Spielberg's main concern; instead, he looks away from the glare and into the shadows, where a team of operatives sidles around Europe in the ensuing months and eliminates those responsible for the massacre. Munich was merely the starting gun.
