A Movie Review: A Most Wanted Man

A Most Wanted Man. Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin) has illegally entered into Germany.  There is fear that he is a terrorist. Günther Bachmann (Philip Seymour Hoffman) takes the investigative lead in attempting to determine his true intentions.  Annabel Richter (Rachel McAdams) comes to the support of Issa Karpov from a legal perspective.

This is a well crafted movie.  The movie dives into investigations, rivalries, and good intentions.

I do have one issue with the movie and that is Annabel Richter.  She is "arrested" and put into a holding cell.  After what seems like a few hours, she consents to betray Issa Karpov.  Isn't she his lawyer?  Shouldn't she have held out longer?  And why was she willing to trust this government agency?
