About this movie

When a half-Chechen, half-Russian, brutally tortured immigrant turns up in Hamburg's Islamic community, laying claim to his father's ill gotten fortune, both German and US security agencies take a close interest: as the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, the race is on to establish this most wanted man's true identity.

A Most Wanted Man is definitely not a film for everybody. It's a slow burn espionage movie base on a true story. Don't come in expecting James Bond or Jason Bourne to shoot up a place. Come in expecting Philip Seymour Hoffman tracking a potential terrorist in Germany following his movement one step at a time. It's an interesting story, and if you like dramas or spy films grounded in reality, like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, then you'll enjoy this.

I actually watched this after reading all the reviews that it was boring because it didn't have any action and because of the positive reviews that said it was a serious film that probably portrayed a real-life scenario. It seems really poignant that this was Philip Seymour Hoffman's last film. The ending was fitting with how he left the planet.

This movie was absolutely beautiful. It was slow all through. I kept waiting for the action to begin but it never came. This is the type of movie that made one think rather than just watching the action. I will give it 3 stars.
