This adaptation of John le Carré’s novel sadly became Philip Seymour Hoffman’s last completed film, and he is typically excellent as a world-weary spymaster. The dogged head of a German anti-terror unit based in Hamburg, he is trying to determine whether an illegal immigrant (Grigoriy Dobrygin) is really an innocent refugee or a militant jihadist. Rachel Mcadams, Willem Dafoe and Robin Wright do sterling work in support of Hoffman in an absorbing and stylish espionage drama. 2014, 15, 122MIN
