Munich

Monday, July 28th, 2008


The critically acclaimed 2005 movie Munich required, among other things, a solid cast of European actors. So it’s only natural that Mathieu Amalric would get brought in, even if only in a secondary (but vitally important!) capacity.

Amalric plays the part of Louis, an informant who helps the Mossad team that is the film’s focus track down their assassination targets. He provides some of the most vital intel in the movie despite not appearing very often, leading the team to several of the targets successfully despite some initial misgivings (for example, he provides the team with a set of unpredictably-powerful explosives that nearly kill team leader Avner).

In the end he proves trustworthy, and helps the team locate and eliminate nine of the eleven men; but Avner loses his will to continue, and the mission ends with nine kills and two escapes.
