A Most Wanted Man (Rated: R)
Drama
Carol: Must See Now
This is the last we will be able to enjoy Philip Seymour Hoffman on the screen and fortunately it is a good film. Excellent, in fact. It starts out slowly, as do most of John Le Carré novels, in my view. The good news is that the viewer (or reader for that matter) is eventually engaged and the story unfolds in a compelling and entertaining manner. You must see this if you were a fan of Mr. Hoffman. The entertainment world has lost a true genius.
Phil: Must See Now
While ponderous for a few minutes, the story picks up and we become engaged. Hoffman ,as always, dominates the scenes where he appears, and he is almost always on the screen. Adapted from a John Le Carré novel, the film becomes a worthwhile endeavor, mainly because of Hoffman’s presence.
