MAN(15) CHECHEN refugee Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin) enters Hamburg illegally and seeks refuge with a kind Turkish woman (Derya Alabora) and her son (Tam- er Yigit). They put Issa in touch with immigration lawyer An- nabel Richter (Rachel Mc- Adams) and Tommy Brue (Willem Dafoe), who is head of the private bank used by Issa’s sadistic father to store his ill-gotten gains. Ger- man intelligence operative Gunther Bachmann (Hoff- man) and his team com- prising right-hand woman Irna Frey (Nina Hoss) and juniors Maximillian (Dan- iel Bruhl) and Niki (Vicky Kreps) identify Issa as an escaped militant jihadist. They choose not to arrest him but use Issa as bait to snag Muslim academic and philanthropist Dr Faisal Ab- dullah (Homayoun Ershadi), who is suspected of channel- ling funds to terrorist Islam- ic organisations. Gunther and his team exert pressure on Richter and Brue to co- erce Issa into donating his father’s money to Abdullah. However, the plan doesn’t unfold smoothly and Gunther’s operation faces intense scrutiny from high- ranking CIA operative Mar- tha Sullivan (Robin Wright), whose view of humanity is summed up when she ob- serves, “Every good man has a little bit of bad, doesn’t he?” Rating: Four stars
