A PRETTY good, sometimes gripping, political thriller, the new movie Munich — The Edge Of War, based on Robert Harris’s 2017 novel, includes a couple of obvious howlers.
First, the film’s Adolf Hitler is so bad it becomes comical. Surely, film-makers understand Bruno Ganz as the Fuhrer in the 2004 German film Downfall irrevocably raised the bar when it comes to onscreen portrayals of the Nazi leader?
Second, amazingly, the film-makers chose August Diehl to play a slightly manic, slightly comic SS officer, after he had played a slightly manic, slightly comic SS officer in Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 movie Inglourious Basterds. Is the pool of decent German actors really so small?
