A Most Wanted Man: The Details Reveal Deep Emotions

A sighing good story in typical John Carrey style. A miserable and helpless young man, who wants to start a new life in Hamburg, is unknowingly forced to be involved in an "anti-terrorism" conspiracy, bringing out a kind-hearted female lawyer, a helpless banker, and a troubled politician's son. Everyone is manipulated in front of the giant social machine. Even Agent Bachmann (played by Hoffman), who has been in control of the game, is a pawn that can be relinquished at any time.

The ending makes people feel that this world is cold.

The picture is very clean, without any extra people or scenery. The details reveal the deep emotions of the characters.

    Philip Hoffman's invincible performance, a spy film in the same vein as "The Tinker". Remembering one of the best actors on the planet.

    A solid and stern spy film, calm on the surface and ups and downs in the dark. Hoffman's acting is amazing. Similar films are Tinker and Munich.

A Most Wanted Man quotes

  • Günther Bachmann: You're looking at me, at us, but we don't exist, not legally, not officially, because German intelligence needs a job to be done that German law won't let it do, so me and my people, we stay small. We stay on the streets. We make the weather. Our sources don't come to us. We find them. We become their friends, their brothers, their fathers, their lovers if we have to. When they're ours, and only then, we direct them at bigger targets. It takes a minnow to catch a barracuda, a barracuda to catch a shark.

  • Jamal: You are forcing me to betray my own father?

    Günther Bachmann: You are not betraying him. You are saving him. That is an act of love.
