It’s also the perfect companion piece to Steven Spielberg’s controversial “Munich,” which depicted the Israeli response to the Olympic massacre…
You could call it a cousin to “Munich” and “One Day in September,”…
…it’s hard not to miss the messy agony of Steven Spielberg’s Munich…
…including Steven Spielberg’s highly regarded 2005 thriller “Munich.”
Steven Spielberg’s 2005 “Munich,” his drama starring Eric Bana as the German-Jewish Mossad agent assigned to lead the charge to take down the terrorists, plunged into the visceral and moral bloodshed on the ground.
…a territory deftly explored by Steven Spielberg in Munich (2005)…
It tries to emulate better fictional newsroom works like Steven Spielberg's The Post, Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom, and Tom McCarthy's Spotlight…
Bradly, Drew, and Nate discuss films covering a history of life changing events from Spotlight to Morning Glory…
Like most movies set within a newsroom context (from Network to Spotlight), the atmosphere is already nerve-racking/high-energy enough…
September 5, along with films like Civil War, She Said, and Spotlight, is a worthy journalism procedural.
…but also to journalism-centric films like “Spotlight,” “She Said” and the documentary “Collective”…
As far as newsroom dramas go, September 5 holds its own with Broadcast News and Spotlight .
One can see parallels to Sidney Lumet’s Network or Dan Gilroy’s Nightcrawler in its exploration of questionable journalistic ethics.
Like most movies set within a newsroom context (from Network to Spotlight), the atmosphere is already nerve-racking/high-energy enough…
If this movie had arrived before “Network” and all the media cynicism that’s since come to pass, it would have dropped jaws, too…
…easily the equal of Alex Garland’s 2024 Civil War (2024)…
Like Alex Garland’s “Civil War” (2024) without the spectacle, there is limited discussion of the actual conflict…
September 5, along with films like Civil War, She Said, and Spotlight, is a worthy journalism procedural.
Back in the spring, Alex Garland’s wildly divisive Civil War was defended in some corners as actually being a sly indictment of the very journalists it textually valorized; an argument which feels far more appropriate for the outwardly jaundiced September 5.
It tries to emulate better fictional newsroom works like Steven Spielberg's The Post, Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom, and Tom McCarthy's Spotlight…
…there’s a whiff of Aaron Sorkin like self-aggrandizement, reminiscent of The Newsroom, where journalists seem to take undue credit for historical events.
The result is somewhere between The Newsroom and Good Night, and Good Luck…

The Spielberg film this most resembles is “The Post,” in its flurry of trying to act responsibly amid the incredible pressures of a breaking-news environment.
As directed by Swiss filmmaker Tim Felhbaum, who cowrote the screenplay with Munich-born screenwriter Moritz Bender, “September 5” is not a sprawling epic about mission creep and moral decay in the vein of Steven Spielberg’s “Munich,” but a dialogue-driven journalism thriller in the tradition of “All the President’s Men,” “The China Syndrome,” “Spotlight” or “The Post,” though with an action movie’s pacing.
…or Maria Schrader’s She Said (2022)…
September 5, along with films like Civil War, She Said, and Spotlight, is a worthy journalism procedural.

A House of Dynamite (2025)
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
influenced by September 5 (2024)
Visuals Plot
…recalling some of the urgency of last year’s “September 5,” another film that takes place mostly in contained spaces.
Like last year’s middling “September 5,” which half dramatized the terrorist attacks at the 1972 Munich Olympics from the vantage of an ABC Sports crew, “A House of Dynamite” inadvertently suggests that, as a movie genre, the control-room thriller may be approaching its limitations…
No es la primera vez que vemos un ejercicio similar (para no ir más lejos, ver September 5, 2024)…
This historical thriller is the equivalent of a dramatic complement to “Saturday Night” (2024)…
The chaos of the studio control room is evocative of the powerful air traffic control scenes from Paul Greengrass’ United 93 (2006), which chronicled the morning of the September 11th attacks with frenetic realism.
Imagine United 93 (2006) taking place completely in the air traffic control room…
September 5 may aim to represent the uncomfortable ethics of media, but this is no Ace in the Hole.
…with Alan J. Pakula’s classic “All The President’s Men” often heralded as the best example…
As far as newsroom dramas go, September 5 holds its own with Broadcast News and Spotlight .
…or Apollo 13 (1995) never leaving mission control…
Walker’s casting choice feels a bit off, definitely not as impactful as Christopher Plummer’s role as Mike Wallace in The Insider.
Under the Silver Lake, the third feature from writer-director David Robert Mitchell (The Myth of the American Sleepover [2010], It Follows [2014]) has a comparable relationship with mystery.
One can see parallels to Sidney Lumet’s Network or Dan Gilroy’s Nightcrawler in its exploration of questionable journalistic ethics.
…call it the Adam McKay style of docudrama shooting that defined series like “Succession,”…
…a different angle from the just-the-facts strategy of Kevin MacDonald’s admirably clinical doc One Day in September…
…documentaries such as the Oscar-winning “One Day in September,”…
You could call it a cousin to “Munich” and “One Day in September,”…
The finest screen telling of the tale until now has been Kevin Macdonald’s One Day in September (1999)…
There’s also Kevin Macdonald’s Oscar-winning 1999 documentary “One Day in September,” which recounted the events with lucidity and empathy for those taken hostage.
…in 1999, via a stark documentary from Kevin Macdonald, One Day in September…
Moritz and Fehlbaum’s matter-of-fact script lacks the punchy pressure-cooker sparring quality of inside-baseball series such as “The Morning Show”…
