Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The Good German is a movie wonk's triumph and no one else's. Soderbergh gets the visuals right but not the clean storytelling line of classic cinema, nor the iconic characters or moral certainty of the oldies.

rotten:
We get no heroes, not even flawed ones. Clooney, our marquee man, chases through numbing plot contortions only because of his lust for Lena. By the time The Good German ended, I had barely a clue if the good ones had lived or died.

There's a line between homage and mimicry, and Soderbergh has crossed it.

rotten:
This cast almost makes The Good German watchable. It's just that their screenwriter and director don't do them any favors.
