Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì
Munich: The Edge of War—keeps audience attention—has good storyline and backs itself with good acting. The two main characters seem to get lost so that a person may think they are one and the same until they meet face to face in a German conference room. From that point forward the story becomes easily understandable. Particularly notable are George McKay and Jannis Niewohner for acting skill. Watch for the treat of seeing Jeremy Irons acting as England’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. It may have been better to use make up to enable Ulrich Matthes to closely resemble Hitler. This would enable his good acting to have more power.
