Apparently, this is a true story... sorta. Plummer is playing him like James Bond. It would be more compelling for him to be a darker criminal with murky morality. In the real story, the Germans are completely taken by him which is so dumb. Of course, nothing is more unbelievable than true life. The problem is that this is an unbelievable story. It's hard to see why they would trust this man. As a movie, the story unfolds in a series of unconvincing incidents. Tension is limited. It's all rather flat.
