Overview

Description

The late Philip Seymour Hoffman gives his final screen performance in this taut yet labyrinthine adaptation of John le Carré's 2008 spy novel. In the years immediately following 9/11, Gunter Bachmann (Hoffman) is a counterterrorist expert based in Hamburg who operates as a rogue agent, independently of the Grenzschutzgruppe 9 der Bundespolizei (GSG-9). He specializes in bringing down jihadists, and as the story opens, he begins to fixate on a Chechen immigrant named Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin), newly arrived in town. Issa's motivations are initially unknown, but he befriends an American social worker (Rachel McAdams) who grows convinced of his harmlessness and sets about persuading Gunter of the same. Meanwhile, Gunter becomes aware of a palpable and imminent threat to national security that involves future jihad activity, and devises an ingenious plan that he hopes will both extinguish the threat and provide amnesty for Issa. The Americans and the GSG-9, however, learn of Gunter's plot and express both impatience and a general skepticism about the scheme's effectiveness. A Most Wanted Man premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.~Nathan Southern

We saw the trailers on this and it looked good. Watched the full movie and realized that we have lost a potentially great actor. Obviously the author of the book this was derived from is partially responsible. This movie will keep you riveted with suspense. Superb supporting cast. I must confess, I am a fan of John Le Carre' books and have always thought that Philip Seymour Hoffman's were mostly sad yet thought provoking.

A good film but nothing compared to his performances in Before The Devil Knows You're Dead or Capote. The ending leaves you questioning many outcomes which I didn't care for. Sad to see, this will be Philip Seymour Hoffman's last performance.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman shines as the leader of a German anti-terrorism group. The plot is unpredictable but easy to follow and quite suspenseful. Based on a novel by the master spy-writer, John Le Carre, this is a must see film.

This film is one of the last filmed before the untimely death of Mr. Hoffman, and helps establish his legacy as one of our finer actors. The movie is solid, and worth viewing by casual and dedicated fans alike.

Philip Seymour Hoffman put in a great performance. Robin Wright was her usual strong presence. I got lost a bit in who the good guys were, but ultimately I would recommend this film to friends for the suspence.

Although I thought the movie was a tad slow, I felt like it was keeping with the character of the movie. Great character movie. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was a great actor and this movie shows him at his best.
