A Most Wanted Man (review)

The appearance of an immigrant in Hamburg spikes the interest of a secret anti-terrorist group headed by Philip Seymour Hoffman. Thus begins a tedious, low-key operation to discover the man’s true threat. Based on a novel by John le CarrĂ©, this is much more about patient procedure than action or chases. Every scene plays out slowly with no tension and lots of looking. Hoffman creates a mildly compelling character, but the ever-present cig and swig is an unoriginal way to signify a flawed character. There’s some interesting intrigue, but the pacing is so slow that it tries your patience.

 

2.5 out of 5 stars (2.5 / 5)
