A Most Wanted Man 15
Based on the novel by John le Carré, this is a gripping espionage thriller that prickles with tension.
Hamburg, the present day. The city - where the 9/11 bombers lived and plotted - remains on high alert. When a brutally tortured immigrant, identified by Interpol as a possible terror suspect, turns up and lays claim to his father’s ill-gotten fortune, he attracts the interest of a secretive anti-terror unit headed by Gunter Bachmann (Philip Seymour Hoffman).
Working with the CIA and forming an uneasy alliance with spy Martha Sullivan (Robin Wright), Bachmann must uncover the truth about the man’s identity and his possible connections to high level terrorists.
As the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, the race is on to establish this most wanted man’s true motives – is he an oppressed victim or a militant jihadist bent on destruction?
