Most horrible movie I've rented this year. George Clooney and Toby Maguire were completely not believable and sounded like they were reading cue cards. Cate Blanchett d... Full Review

I am not a fan of Soderbergh, he doesn't have a feel for this material. He was so concentrated on the atmosphere and the style of 40's film noir, the storytelling... Full Review

Great return to classic film noir style.
by Rj (movies profile) (Nov 24, 2008)
The Good German is one of the best returns to the 1940s style of film-noir. It has the right mix of action, adventure, mystery, Intrigue & romance. The Good German hypnot... Full Review

A full length homage to film-noir and 1940's film-making. Engrossing and visually stylish, it never gets boring, though a bit confusing. A film that requires an attention... Full Review

If only Soderbergh focused on the plot
by jmart0072007 (movies profile) (Feb 11, 2009)
Uninteresting, dull, lifeless, and boring, are the words that immediately come to mind after watching The Good German, thanks to Steven Soderbergh. I'm sure there is a go... Full Review
