Watch A Most Wanted Man For Free

So much average

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

A Most Wanted Man is a good movie with a reasonably well written plot and a very talented cast. The performances certainly save this film, Phillip Seymour Hoffman blew it away in one of his final roles prior to his tragic passing. It is great to see him take on such a challenging lead role, playing a character that is clearly nothing like himself, taking it on with great ease and making it look effortless. However, as far as films go, I found this very unmoving, it failed to take any risks or do anything that truly surprised me. It is a very predictable, by the book film that did not seem all that interested in doing anything different. Reasonably entertaining. Though the plot falls flat, A Most Wanted Man is saved by great performances, worth the watch for Hoffman alone.A man illegally immigrates to Hamburg, where he gets caught in the war on terror. Best Performance: Phillip Seymour Hoffman

A sluggish, low key, mopey, dragged on movie that needed a good shot of Drano. I don't even recall much what happened because after 10 minutes I just let it run in the background and did something else. Every once in awhile I'd look over and watch Hoffman do his best impression of an actor bent on being as boring as possible. Occasionally, he would make a face or say something benign.Hoffman's best performance was probably in Boogie Nights. One of the best movies of the 90's. Sad that this was Hoffman's final hurrah. The man had talent.

In Hamburg the security forces, including a secret unit led by Günther Bachmann, suspect that respected Muslim philanthropist Dr Faisal Abdullah is actually channelling money to terrorist causes; the problem is they can't prove anything. Then Chechen refugee Issa Karpov arrives in Germany illegally; Günther's unit becomes aware of him and more importantly that he has links to terrorists in his homeland. Rather than arrest Issa straight away it is decided to see who he makes contact with. As Günther says, 'you use a minnow to catch a barracuda, you use a barracuda to catch a shark'… Issa is definitely considered to be the minnow that might just get Günther the leverage he will need to make Abdullah lead him to a 'shark'. To do this he focuses on Issa's lawyer as she is going to see a banker concerning a large quantity of money that his father, a man he disposed, left him. Günther isn't the only person interested in Issa and Abdullah; other German agencies and the US have them in their sights.Anybody who has watched other adaptations of the works of John le Carré, or read his books, will know not to expect lots of 'James Bond' style action; this is a grittier, more believable, depiction of spycraft. There is a lot of 'waiting and watching', application of pressure and inter-agency politics before the story reaches its surprisingly downbeat conclusion. It could be argued that the film is slow paced but that suited the story and the slowness didn't prevent it from being tense. Philip Seymour Hoffman put is a great performance as Günther Bachmann; it is a tragedy that that this was to be one of his final roles before his untimely death. The rest of the cast impress too; each giving the low-key performances that suits characters who live in the shadows. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to people looking for a modern spy thriller but don't demand lots of action.

From the reviews, I am in the minority. But another reviewer termed it "...a slow burn..." The burn is how every scene shows someone is leaving, going to another place just to leave it. This makes the movie not full of suspense, intrigue, or action oriented but struggling like a grass fire in the dust- bowl States. The camera man does not help by shaking the camera so much during the actual action scenes that the audience can't connect with the movie.Philip is a cigarette spokesman by having a cigarette in his face in almost every scene he is in. I am done with this movie at the scene where Philip announces that he is done with Issa.
