Film-play? = Looks ok, nothing special. camera was shaky at times, boring cuts.
Cast? = PSH was very good at his role of playing unwell tired aged spy. the 'badguy' was likeable as it turned out he was not a bad guy.
Storyline? = interesting especially as it highlighted not all muslims are badguys.
Score? = n/a
Re-watchable ? = No, one time film
Why I scored down? = nothing spetacular in screenplay or score.
Why I scored up? = very interesting, showed how not all spy films need to be action filled.

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.

"A Most Wanted Man" concerns a group of anti-terrorism agents in Hamburg, Germany, the head man being Gunther Bachmann (Philip Seymour Hoffman). A Chechen-Muslim immigrant, Issa (Grigoriy Dobrygin) appears, in terrible shape after torture, and wants to claim his father's tainted fortune and then divest himself of it by signing it over to his father's best friend, banker Abdullah (Homayoun Ershadi) so that it is given to charities. Both the German security operation and the U.S. security operation want to know if he's for real or an actual terrorist himself.As part of German Intelligence, Gunther notes Issa's ties to this philanthropist, but Gunther also thinks this man funds terrorists as well as charities.Based on a John LeCarre novel, A Most Wanted Man is both slow and suspenseful, with Hoffman really carrying the film as a tired man who smokes constantly. His whole life is his career. It is a brilliant performance. What a void he has left.Rachel McAdams plays Issa's attorney, Willem Dafoe is a banker, and Gunther's team consists of Nina Hoss and Daniel Bruhl. This is LeCarre - no flashy James Bond effects, but very intelligent nonetheless. It's a film about winners and losers, and in the terrorist game, there are neither.

No matter how hard you try how many films you make Against Islam, it would still be propaganda nothing else. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.With less than 5% of the world's population, the United States is home to roughly 35–50 per cent of the world's civilian-owned guns, heavily skewing the global geography of firearms and any relative comparison.The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership.Puerto Rico tops the world's table for firearms murders as a percentage of all homicides - 94.8%. It's followed by Sierra Leone in Africa and Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean.PS Study: U.S. regime has killed 20-30 million people since World War Two. American Nation is Worlds No.1 Terrorist Nation on the planet. Truth is Bitter.
