This
film is based on a novel by John le Carre. Isa Karpov is a half-Chechen, half-Russian Muslim man who
travels to Hamburg Germany. He
visits the Islamic community to claim his fathers’ fortune that was obtained
illegally. Adding to the intrigue,
the man has been cruelly tortured before his arrival. Security for the US and Germany are both interested in this
case. What is the truth behind
this man, is he a victim or an extremist?
Everyone in this film has the fear of a terrorist attack in the background of their work. What should they look for, what should they see, what should
they do, how can an incident be prevented and
what will be the next incident? This is low key and doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat over their investigation. 3* (This movie is OK)
