COMMUNITY REVIEWS
A Most Wanted Man submitted by SBNB on July 3, 2015, 3:10pm Meh. Kind of boring, a little confusing. Bad ending. I don't recommend it.
Not very good submitted by leenajong on July 12, 2015, 5:55pm Very slow and boring,
skip this one submitted by Jackie77 on August 22, 2015, 11:40pm I totally agree with the other reviews. Super slow and super boring. I've always liked phillip seymour hoffman, but his accent was weird in this movie. That really threw me off.
Very Good submitted by MH17 on August 8, 2017, 2:57pm A subtle, intelligent movie with standout performances by Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams and Willem Dafoe, A Most Wanted Man gives insight into the complicated world of various national anti-terrorism agencies, each with their own competing agendas. If you have an interest in the global war on terrorism, this intricately plotted and brilliantly written movie that tells a compelling story of the inner workings of national spy agencies will reward your attention. Five stars.
Hoffman makes this mediocre Le Carre piece of BS viewable. submitted by Tassos on September 27, 2019, 6:31am This is not a good movie, but one based on a book LeCarre wrote with a purpose, a despicable political purpose. DIsgusting.
