Review of Munich - The Edge of War (2021) by Tvjerry — 12 Feb 2022
George MacKay plays a young British diplomat who works for Prime Minister Chamberlain in 30s England. He's enlisted to travel with him to Munich, where they'll be meeting with Hitler and other world leaders.
One of his former Oxford classmates (Jannis Niewöhner) works for the German government, so they plan a covert meeting in an attempt to avert World War II. The performances are compelling and it's sufficiently crafted, but the expected danger and subsequent anxiety never materializes.
While the historical conference is based on fact, this fictionalized angle turns out to be more about the relationships than a tense spy thriller.
