A Most Wanted Man (2014)

In one of his last performances, Philip Seymour Hoffman, shows off his mastery of the acting craft as Gunther Bachmann, the leader of a small spy unit of the German government. Assigned to Hamburg where the 9/11 terrorists hatched their plot against the United States, Bachman and his small squad are charges specifically with watching for evil doers within the Muslim community.

We see Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin) slip into the country but he is soon identified as a possible Islamic extremist coming from Chechenia by way of Turkey. Rather than pick him up, Bachmann allows him to "walk" as he puts it. Followed all the time, Issa finds refuge with a Turkish family, then obtains legal help from a human rights lawyer (Rachel McAdams).

Is he a terrorist or not? He is found to be the son of a deceased Russian general. The general, it seems left a large fortune for the son with a bank now run by Tommy Brue (Willem Dafoe), himself the son the original banker and a friend of the general's. But what is the money to be used for? We find out as soon and Bachmann and his crew do at the same time.
