Conclusion: 3/5
Based on the international bestseller by Robert Harris. Jeremy Irons is fantastic in this role depicting Neville Chamberlain. Always lovely to see George MacKay who I think can do no wrong. He actually learned German for his role. I have not seen Jannis Niewohner before but thought he gave a really strong performance.
