a most wanted man (2014). directed by anton corbijn.


not a bad spy movie. i quite enjoy it, the story unfolds as the many hidden motivations of various parties going after the most common scapegoat of our times, though i do find it a tad lazy that the portrayal of muslims as the uncontrollable maniacs under the watchful eyes of western spy agencies hell bent to protect their "innocents". 

come on, man. no mentions of foreign policy, of racism, of immigration, of war, of poverty, of inequality - heck, the list goes on and on. but hell, watching "them" and expecting them to tell the other side of the story, i might as well expect for the ocean to turn purple.
