Director Andrew Corbijn’s film adaption of John le Carré’s
A
Most Wanted Man provides a bleak view of the duplicitous nature of hunt
for terrorists.
In this story, written for the screen by Andrew Bovell,
Phillip Seymour Hoffman leaves us with a virtuoso performance as the head of a
clandestine office within the German security system in Hamburg. He and his team are searching for a Chechen
terrorist, who has entered the Country, illegally.
As in most le Carré stories, it’s a slow build with
twists and turns toward a shocking end.
I give A Most Wanted Man a 3+ out of 5, but
Hoffman gets a 5 for his performance.
