Munich: The Edge Of War Review - Netflix's WWII Drama Hits The Right Notes
Author Robert Harris blended history and fiction for his novel Munich, and now that story comes to life in Netflix's new espionage drama, Munich: The Edge of War. Though the film isn't positioned as one of the streamer's Oscar contenders this awards season (its January release makes it ineligible for the Academy Awards), its prestigious subject matter is certainly along the lines of what appeals to voters. Set against the backdrop of the 1938 Munich Agreement that preceded World War II, the movie features a desperate group of characters hoping to prevent the inevitable conflict that is to come. Munich: The Edge of War is a well-made period piece able to stage necessary tension despite its real-life story being so well-known.
