Based on John le Carre novel of the same name, this film, set in Germany, has a rumpled chain-smoking Phillip Seymour Hoffman (in one of his last roles before his unfortunate demise), as well as duelling security services (US and German), possible extremists, double crosses, and lust and love, of course. This is not a film for late night watching as it’s not fast paced and it takes concentration. Not great, but if you like espionage movies, you’ll likely find this one of interest.
