I just found the most suspenseful spy thriller on Prime Video — and now I don’t think I can sleep tonight

Philip Seymour Hoffman in A Most Wanted Man.

In further proof that time is a social construct, it's already been more than a decade since the film world lost one of its finest actors: Philip Seymour Hoffman, the character-actor legend who died in February 2014.

And while many of the performer's roles across the decades have been deservedly commended, from his iconic entrance as bratty Freddie Miles in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" to his Oscar-winning turn as author Truman Capote in "Capote" to his chilling take on a scandalized Catholic priest in "Doubt," there are still some Hoffman performances that are overdue for praise. One such credit is the 2014 espionage thriller "A Most Wanted Man," which marked Hoffman's final leading performance before his death. (He appeared in a supporting capacity in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay" films.)
