A Most Wanted Man (2014)
Issa Karpov, a political refugee from Chechnya who has been tortured by Russian security forces, illegally enters Hamburg, Germany. Günther Bachmann leads a covert German government team that seeks to recruit local informants with ties to Islamic terrorist organizations. The disheveled Günther’s polar opposite is his efficient right-hand associate, Irna Frey. The team learns of Karpov’s presence and his suspected links to Chechen terrorists.
Bachmann’s team is also tracking the activities of a local, respected, Muslim philanthropist, Dr. Abdullah, who the team suspects is funnelling a small portion of his legitimate funds to Al Qaeda, though the team is unable to prove this. High-ranking German security official Mohr and American diplomatic attaché Sullivan both learn of these investigations and take an interest. Bachmann is interested in watching suspects and “turning” informants higher and higher up the chain, while protecting the naïve who are caught up in the nefarious affairs of others. Mohr and Sullivan appear single-minded, and interested in merely capturing suspects, regardless of guilt or future usefulness. Bachmann has been disgraced in the past for an apparently serious failure, and shows signs of self-neglect, but is a sophisticated operative who understands Islamic terrorism, and distrusts politicians and the Americans.
