Director Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Ocean’s Eleven) delivers this post-WWII thriller filled with intrigue, corruption and betrayal. The story takes place amid the ruins of Berlin, where U.S. Army war correspondent Jake Geismar (George Clooney) seeks out Lena Brant (Cate Blanchett), a former lover whose missing husband is being pursued by American and Russian intelligence forces. As Jake tries to unearth the secrets Lena may be hiding, a larger threat arises via the black-market connections of Tully (Tobey Maguire), an American army driver assigned to Jake. The Good German presents a chilling portrait of war’s psychological aftermath, as Jake discovers the difficulty of uncovering truth from people still reeling from war. (USA, 105 min. R.
