Trivia
Christoph Waltz's directorial debut of a cinematic movie. He earlier directed the made-for-TV movie "Wenn man sich traut (2000)," for which he also wrote the screenplay.

Goofs
Mott's so-called uniform of the Iraqi Special Forces is an appalling mish-mash. The tunic is British style. The brass buttons have the design worn on a civilian's blazer. There's no rank and the black flashes on the upper collar have no meaning. The cap badge on the beret looks like it was stolen from the set of Hunt for Red October. The ribbons are all from American issued medals.

Quotes
Ulrich Mott: Can we talk? Not on the telephone. It's not prudent.

Crazy credits
Disclaimer before opening credits: "This story does not, in any way, claim to be the truth. Nonetheless, it is inspired by actual events."

Elsa more interesting

Ulrich Mott (Christoph Waltz) is a well-connected DC operator. He's married to the elderly widow Elsa Breht (Vanessa Redgrave). Her daughter Amanda Breht (Annette Bening) distrusts the smooth talker. When Elsa is suddenly dead, Amanda immediately accuses Ulrich.

This movie is trying hard to sell its reveals. In the end, there is only one truly intriguing reveal. Once that reveal is shown, I would like to see more of Elsa. It's their relationship that is so mysterious. I want to figure her out more. He's a scammer and a skilled story teller. Him telling his stories is not the most compelling cinema. It's not that deep. It's marginally quirky enough to be mildly amusing. I want her and I want to see more of their relationship.
