Munich: The Edge of War 2022

Despite knowing the resolution, I felt this was a tense and gripping movie. The scenes with Hitler were suitably chilling.

The Ninth Day... Inglourious Basterds... Allied... and now this one.

Damn if there's an uniformed nazi in a movie you bet your ass August Diehl will be playing him.

Well, it's fiction, historical fiction, aka based on historical facts but plays loosely with it.

Is it possible two friends had information that helped turn the war? Another comment said the story was improbable, except in the 1920s students were all wealthy, so a wealthy German spends a couple years at Oxford? Very possible. Made friends with a Brit? Also very probable. Both wealthy enough to be close to the power base but still too young to be directly in it? Very probable too. Each having access to information or persons to tilt the war? Maybe, maybe not.

So it's an interesting story, good script, really good cinematography. One comment compared it to James Bond movies. Perhaps she might need a lesson in who Sir Ian Fleming was during WWII and following Might need to read the books rather than just watch the movies. This stayed more true to a spy novel than some of the movies of the genre have.

I would've said 7.5. Rotten tomatoes says 8.6 (86%) at this time. So I rounded up.

Good movie, although it obviously had to bend reality a bit to make the story work. For example Hitler made them sit in their hotel room till 3am so they would be exhausted and tired before meeting them - he didn't have an afternoon meeting. Otherwise it's good and worth watching.

7.5/10

Intriguing or farcical? The idea that two school mates would have had an opportunity to subvert a world war and attempted to do so on their own is almost comedic. It’s not a bad movie but you have to suspend logic at the outset and buy into the fiction of it all.

the subject and cinematography was good but acting and presentation was weak. 6/10 from me.
