Chief Chick Comments

This final role for Philip Seymour Hoffman is a fine role and a fine performance. Hoffman plays Günther, head of a secret German intelligence unit, which is trying to prevent further terrorist attacks. The strategies and tactics take a little concentration, but are ultimately understandable. While in English, Hoffman's German accent seems authentic. Rachel McAdams plays a left wing lawyer trying to help Issa Karpov who has snuck into Germany following prison and torture in Russia and Turkey. Robin Wright is a CIA agent meddling in the process while Willem Dafoe is a banker who is holding over 10 million Euros which may belong to Issa. While the ending is not satisfying, I think I knew throughout that it would not be so. This is a gritty, tough movie which makes you glad you are not in this business. I wonderful performance for Philip Seymour Hoffman!

Rooster pretty much agrees with the Chief. Need to pay attention while watching. Worth it just to see PS Hoffman's performance. He will be missed....
