Munich: The Edge of War Ratings & Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Director Christian Schwochow has made a classy thriller and draws out strong performances from all three of his main actors.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
A really solid, old-fashioned, well-crafted war-spy drama.
The Michael Medved Show
Michael Medved
The breathless timing, masterful script and emotional impact...make this one of the very best films, so far, in 2022.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
If the movie is handsome in an oak-paneled-office way, there's life in it too. You feel there's something at stake for the two young would-be heroes, as there is for the world.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Munich: The Edge of War is a sturdy, meticulously crafted ticking-clock thriller I thoroughly enjoyed.
Den of Geek
David Crow
Munich is made at a moment in history when Chamberlain's fears, and his follies, are entirely more tangible than they were a few decades ago. And when that realization hits you, the movie's tension never lets go.
Looper.com
Alistair Ryder
An entertaining if overly familiar (pre-) WWII spy thriller.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Munich - The Edge of War starts off as a prim spy thriller and ends as an insufferable civics lesson.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Using speculation and embellishments to fill in the narrative gaps, this political procedural tends to oversimplify the sociopolitical complexities and moral dilemmas at its core.
WBGR-FM (93.7 FM - Monroe, WI)
Patrick McDonald
The acting is top drawer ..esp Irons .. the tension builds nicely & the personal relationships fit perfectly into the story. Defines hope as "we hope somebody does something."
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Munich" doesn't take any unexpected turns, which makes its edge-of-your-seat developments all the more impressive.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Irons gives the kind of performance you want more of as a window into the psychology of leadership, so the fact that he has to share it in so disjointedly dull a slice of history as "Munich: The Edge of War" is regrettable.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Delivers plenty of compelling moments along the way.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Sure, a cheer for gentlemanly honor. But like Chamberlain, "Munich" misses the moment.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A plodding bureaucratic procedural that features many, many characters strategizing in various spaces with furrowed brows and clenched jaws, mostly in relentless medium close-up.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Once various ducks have been gotten in a narrative row and the conference starts, the movie becomes pretty good.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A mixture of well-researched historical fact and pure fiction, "Munich: The Edge of War" is a smart and entertaining thriller that suffers from just one thing: We all know how it ends.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
All the historical stuff is enjoyable. Less so are the movie's fictional elements, and the fictional elements ultimately dominate.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Despite its many structural flaws, I would be amiss if I said I didn't enjoy every last second of this brilliantly written and gorgeously acted drama and would have gladly spent another six hours in the company of MacKay, Niewöhner and Irons.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Unavoidably sapped of tension by our knowledge of precisely what happened next, though it's gripping enough on an in-the-moment basis.
