Based on the novel by Joseph Kanon.
Originally released as a motion picture in 2006.
Takes place in the ruins of post-WWII Berlin, where U.S. Army war correspondent Jake Geismar becomes involved with Lena Brandt, a former lover whose missing husband is the object of a manhunt led by both the American and Russian armies. Intrigue mounts as Jake tries to uncover the secrets Lena may be hiding in her desperation to get herself and her husband out of Berlin. Tully is an American soldier working in the U.S. army motor pool who is assigned to drive Jake around Berlin. Tully has black market connections that may be Lena's way out. But he could lead them all into even darker territory.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
not a fan submitted by chowcy on August 5, 2012, 7:21pm bad acting, not much character development, and slow-paced.
Storyline is muddled submitted by mandevil on June 11, 2021, 2:57pm Cate Blanchett is good, as always. Tobey MaGuire does a reasonable job acting against his usual squeaky clean image. George Clooney appears clueless
