Netflix movie review – in Munich: The Edge of War, Jeremy Irons and George MacKay re-enact a big moment in second world war history

  • Neville Chamberlain (Jeremy Irons) travels to Munich in 1938 for talks with Adolf Hitler to head off conflict in Europe; the British leader fails, as we know
  • George MacKay plays an aide who uses the trip for some espionage. Rather than rewrite history, the film derives its tension from the details of the event
