I really feel that this is one of Speilberg's best. The tension that built in scenes was pitch perfect (ex- the scene where Bana's in the hotel room next door to the man they're about to blow up, I was tense waiting for the bomb to go off). As for the criticisms that Speilberg lets the terrorists off too easy, I think people are missing that while Speilberg understands the need for action and yes at times retribution, given this conflict all he's asking is whether or not anything truly gets accomplished by the killings on both sides. Easily the best film I've seen all year.
