Just saw Munich.

It's Steven Spielberg's first movie for grown ups. I honestly didn't think he had it in him, but he has managed to make a really dark, compelling, challenging film that doesn't pad the soft corners for anyone's comfort. It also has a theme with more real-world relevance than "family is important" or "slavery was bad" or "war is unpleasant, but unfortunately necessary sometimes" or "sharks are scary." For that, I credit screenwriter Tony Kushner, but give Spielberg props for seeing it through without compromise.

I have no doubt that it will be Spielberg's least successful film commerically since 1941, but he can take heart in the knowledge that it is definitely one of his very best.
