Penultimate completed movie of late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman worked with screenwriter Andrew Bovell on his characterization of Gunther Bachmann, a character for whom he came to have a great empathy. Hoffman said: "This movie is about a lot of things including, obviously, how countries deal with terrorism. But it's also about a man who keeps doing the same thing and getting the same result. You get the feeling he can't stop. He really feels like he's trying to do the right thing and I think, actually, he is. But the world isn't going along with his way of taking care of the bad guys of the planet. I was just so taken with his tunnel vision. He just thought 'It's going to work this time and they're going to see that I know, that I actually know'. That's a hard way to live, to be someone who thinks, 'if they could just see what I see, they'll get it'. But they never let him get there and he keeps going there. He suffers."
Producer Stephen Cornwell said of the film's story: "One of the interesting things about A Most Wanted Man (2014) is that it doesn't really have an antagonist. It has lots of people who all believe they are doing the right thing but their reasons are all different. They come into conflict around one central objective, which is the most wanted man who they all see from a different perspective and want for different reasons."
"Günther Bachmann: [Puts a pen in Brue's pocket] It's just an ordinary pen. Looks like a pen, writes like a pen, and listens like a pen."
"Dieter Mohr: After 24 hours of questioning, Karpov confessed to taking part in attacks on gas pipelines, transport, infrastructure, police stations. Irna Frey: After 24 hours of Russian questioning, any one of us would admit to anything."
