The Good German (2006)
Plot of The Good German
Who knows what American journalist Jake Geismer (George Clooney) expected to find in postwar Berlin? Peace, maybe. Or at least a story. But certainly not Lena (Cate Blanchett), his beautiful, embittered one-time love. And not the trail of secrecy and deception that leads from Lena to the scheming young corporal (Tobey Maguire) who's her new lover...and to a murder no one seems interested in solving. Except Jake. Steven Soderbergh directs three of today's top talents in this zigzag thriller that's both an atmospheric homage to 1940s filmmaking and a deft modern film noir. The Good German is "haunting and hypnotic, it's pure moviegoing bliss" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone).

Review of The Good German
The Good German displays many of the features of a great film. No, you will not find stop-frame pictures, computer animations or multi-million dollar effects.  However, what you will find is pure movie magic - the stuff that this industry was build upon -- a good story, a great director and a few extremely talented actors.  While watching the movie, I got the feeling of watching some of the old movies from the 1940s and 1950s, not just because of the time period of the subject matter, but because of the look and feel of the movie and cinematography itself.   Steven Soderbergh directs his best movie yet with fantastic acting by Academy Award winning actors George Clooney and Cate Blanchett along with a out-of-character, yet delightful job by Tobey Maguire.  Together, this cast provides the icing on the cake of an already well written suspense thriller.
