Don’t miss the most anticipated thriller of the year, featuring Philip Seymour Hoffman in his final starring role.
“Philip Seymour Hoffman’s performance is one of accelerating brilliance….“A Most Wanted Man” is a superb film that – contrary to many of our beliefs – very much stars Hoffman in a role that is a tragic illustration of how very much drugs and addiction took from this world so suddenly.
Hoffman was, as we long knew, a great actor and also a unique one. And this may be the last time a starring role in a film may prove it.”
– Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News
“Intelligent and morally probing, with a minimum of pulse-racing action scenes, A Most Wanted Man is the kind of adult thriller that doesn’t usually get released until the fall….It takes away a little of the sting—just a little—of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s premature death to know that in his last film he got to play a role he was born for.”
– M. Faust, Artvoice
“The story is dominated by Philip Seymour Hoffman’s splendidly seedy Gunther Bachmann.”
– Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
“It crackles with a jigsaw-puzzle intelligence and features a superbly subtle lead performance from the late Philip Seymour Hoffman”
– Jeff Labrecque, Entertainment Weekly
“First among equals in the fine ensemble, Hoffman brings a superbly world-weary quality to the role of Bachmann, whose subtle methods are predicated on a deep understanding of human complexity and the reality that no one is either fully good or fully evil — an insight that makes for good detective work, and good drama as well.”
– Justin Chang, Variety
“A Most Wanted Man is simply a complex tale superbly told, with time for nuance and to soak in its mysteries.”
– Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice
Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, & Willem Dafore.
When a half-Chechen, half-Russian, brutally tortured immigrant turns up in Hamburg’s Islamic community, laying claim to his father’s ill-gotten fortune, both German and US security agencies take a close interest: as the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, the race is on to establish this most wanted man’s true identity – oppressed victim or destruction-bent extremist?
