Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The puzzle-like premise of A Most Wanted Man is a fabrication, but you cannot escape the fascination of Hoffman waiting for despair to be confirmed.

rotten:
Given the deadly stakes, this should be gripping, but the film gets sucked into academic plot details, trudging through each rendezvous and stakeout.

It was shot in dark, lurid, vital Hamburg; Hoffman is the star; and I was completely held.

One of the countless sad things about losing Hoffman is the realization that we'll never get to watch him single-handedly elevate an otherwise OK movie again.

rotten:
Hoffman's an actor who could do just about anything, but being authentically German is not one of them.
