Philip Seymour Hoffman’s last film before he chased the dragon too far down the rabbit hole. Need I say more? Phil was a genius. From dark characters – think ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’ and ‘Doubt’ – to displays of hilarity – think Sandy Lyle from ‘Along Came Polly’ (pure genius) – Phil could handle it all. ‘A Most Wanted Man’ tells the story of a Chechen Muslim who illegally immigrates to Hamburg and gets caught up in the international war on terror. It looks like a nail biter and also stars Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright and Willem Dafoe.

You stay classy,
