The terrorism of 21 Hours At Munich seems almost preferable compared to the ritualistic slaughter performed by the modern cult-like Islamic terrorists. I've heard it said that the surviving terrorists of those days are sometimes shocked by the behavior and attitude of their successors!
Franco Nero gives an excellent performance that totally humanizes (almost too much) the terrorist ringleader and manages to outshine the top billed William Holden. So charismatic (and well dressed) is he that it becomes easy to see how so many people with limited brain capacity got caught up in the "terrorist chic" of the nineteen-seventies.
Nero's character looks dashing and dangerous but in the end comes across as pitiful and naive.
Even though everyone who watches probably knows how this ends, It still manages to be suspenseful enough to hold the viewers attention.
