Review of A Most Wanted Man (2014) by Dave89791 — 24 Jul 2014
Perhaps I'm a bit harsh with this rating, but it's to warn away folks from seeing this.
On a scale of up to 4 stars, I'd probably give it 1.5 stars or so due to the good acting and occasionally clever story.
There is virtually no action (except for a foot chase, Philip Seymour Hoffman playing the piano, a document signing, and a fender bender), no character development, very little detail such as to explain the motivations and any backstory for any of the characters.
I regret seeing this.
If you liked Tinker Tailor Solider Spy, you probably would like this since both films are completely devoid of substance and excitement (though this movie isn't quite as terrible as Tinker Tailor).
I don't think I will ever read John le Carré book or see a movie based on one ever again.
