Movie Haiku:Politics aside, MUNICH’s a routine chase flick (a Sabra version of Eastwood’s UNFORGIVEN in which “we all deserve it, kid”) which starts strong but ends in one of the most tasteless “climaxes” ever filmed. The last quarter’s melodramatic, historically tone-deaf plotline is engineered solely to showcase the ill-fated Twin Towers.
