This is a taut, well-paced pre-World War II spy thriller movie, based on Robert Harris's novel Munich. It's about Neville Chamberlain's Munich negotiations with Hitler over the fate of Czechoslovakia, and an attempt by two estranged friends from pre-war Oxford, one British and one German, to get critical information about Hitler's true expansionist intentions to Chamberlain before he signs the "Peace in Our Time" agreement with Hitler. Jeremy Irons gives an excellent performance as Chamberlain. Recommended.
