A Most Wanted Man (2014)
A Most Wanted Man (2014), an espionage thriller based on the 2008 novel by John le Carré, is directed by Anton Corbijn and written by Andrew Bovell. Political refugee Issa Karpov, who suffered torture at the hands of Russian security forces, illegally enters Hamburg, Germany. Günther Bachmann leads a covert team working for the German government to enlist local informants with ties to terrorist organizations. His trusted associate, Irna Frey, is the complete opposite in terms of organization and appearance. The team discovers Karpov’s presence and potential connections to Chechen terrorists. Additionally, they are monitoring respected Muslim philanthropist Dr. Abdullah, believing he may be funneling some of his funds to al-Qaeda, although there is no solid evidence. German security official Mohr and American diplomat Sullivan both take an interest in these ongoing investigations.
Bachmann is focused on keeping an eye on suspects and recruiting informants, even if it means targeting those higher up in the chain. On the other hand, Mohr and Sullivan have a narrow focus of simply capturing suspects without considering their guilt or potential for future use. Although Bachmann has faced past disgrace due to a serious misstep, they possess advanced skills in dealing with Islamic terrorism and maintain a distrust towards politicians and American intelligence agents. In a separate situation, Karpov reaches out to immigration lawyer Annabel Richter who connects him with wealthy banker Tommy Brue through his family’s past relationship with Karpov’s father. Karpov presents Brue with a letter from his father along with the key to a safe deposit box, seeking Brue’s assistance.
