Movie Reviews of Sword of Gideon
Movie Review: The movie that Spielberg's "Munich" was a remake of...
Summary: 4 Stars
Having originally seen this made-for-HBO movie in the 1980's when it was first on cable, I decided to watch it again after seeing Spielberg's "Munich." The two movies, both based on the same book, differ in a few minor plot devices but are otherwise quite similar. I would say that the earlier version has a slightly less dark emotional feel to it; the Mossad handler comes across as not quite as evilly conniving as Spielberg's, for example. Both movies make Avner out to be the archetype Hero, mislead by the evil Spymaster into becoming an assassin, but finally seeing the Light and turning back to Righteousness. That's to be expected, I guess, since their both based on his book. But neither addresses the inherent disparity between a soldier's concept of honor and the pragmatism necessary to a covert ops team.
