Review of A Most Wanted Man (2014) by Dan S — 23 Nov 2014
An intricately put-together and expertly acted spy thriller concerning a tortured immigrant (Grigoriy Dobrygin) who arrives on shore in Hamburg, and how both US and German agencies take focus on tracking him down and abstracting as much information as they can from him concerning his Islamic routes in an attempt to make in-roads on a professor with possible Al-Quada ties.
The late Philip Seymour Hoffman delivers one of his finest turns, as he creates a tired, conflicted character that is incredibly interesting due to how little he says. The story is based off the famed John Le Carre and it does not disappoint, with an ending that packs a punch and leaves you devastated.
A solid film worthy of many re-watches.
