Line of Events
During the 1972 Munich Olympics, an American sports broadcast crew finds themselves caught up in a hostage crisis involving Israeli athletes
All the performances are believable, the comedy in the right places, and the pacing and flow that doesn’t leave you wanting to see the exit before For someone who didn’t really know the story, I was really interested in the details.
They did a solid job of not telegraphing the plot points
Some might find the lack of a change of scenery tiresome, but I think it worked in this case.
They touched on the political and emotional elements nicely
I think they wanted you to feel like the control room was your world, and to feel like they were there on this eventful day.
Making you think without preaching
The interspersing of footage from the actual event, including footage from the broadcast, definitely draws you more into the experience.
A nice piece, although it’s not a film I would really like to watch over and over again, it’s a very well-made piece that I would recommend to friends who like films like this
