Film 81 - A Most Wanted Man

A Most Wanted Man - 19/09/2014


When Half Chechen, Half Russian Issa Karpov seeks asylum in Hamburg after an undisclosed torture the German and American Intelligence Agencies become anxious to his actual means and cause.  Based on the John Le Carr book this film is a far from an interesting, exciting and tense film you can imagine.  I found myself nearly dozing at many points, and struggled to keep my eyes open.

Due to Philip Seymor Hoffman's untimely passing I feel this feel will receive more positive praise than it is actually due, and I may be called for not being sophisticated enough to understand the underlying subtext of the film, but I am sorry, it was just plain boring.

The ending to the film is really weak, really anti climatic, in fact it doesn't really end, just stops.

I was hoping for a Bourne film or something similar, what I got was a a stale film trying to be something it is not.
