A Most Wanted Man


A Most Wanted Man
When a half-Chechen, half-Russian 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... is he an oppressed victim or a destruction-bent extremist? This was Hoffman's third last film.
