Hero's who aren't perfect.

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2007)

When dealing with films against the Nazi's and against the East German Secret police, their evil tends to force the Hero's to be totally good. I am thinking here of Richard Gere in "Red Corner." Here the people are human, and our sympathies are with them even if they are flawed characters. Thus in a way their victories and defeats are more real, more important and more strongly felt.
the movie is well filmed, the feeling of East Germany and all the changes it went through is as close as you can get. The performances were good and enjoyable the sound track fit the film very well.
This is one scary film when you think of people spying on you, even when you have done nothing wrong.
I hate to tell people any film is the best film, because if they go into the film with this attitude the film is sure to disappoint, however for me this is now on my list of best films of all time and my list is only 8 movies long.
