Now a major film starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. A half-starved young Russian in a long black overcoat is smuggled into Hamburg at dead of night. He has an improbable amount of cash secreted in a purse round his neck. He is a devout Muslim. Or is he? He says his name is Issa. Meanwhile, scenting a sure kill in the so-called War on Terror, the spies of three nations converge upon the innocents.
