Kruger, who studied with the Royal Ballet of London until an injury ended that career, may have endured a blessing in disguise as she is easily among A-list actors sought for diverse roles whether a revenge thriller like \u201cIn The Fade\u201d about a woman played by Diane Kruger who seeks revenge when a car bombing kills her husband and son, or \u201cAll That Divides Us,\u201d examining the relationship of slum dwellers and a bourgeois family, with Diane Kruger playing the daughter of Catherine Deneuve who needs saving from a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>I occasionally wonder whether some of these movies that switch back and forth would be better served by a chronological pattern but we take what we\u2019re given.  Here Thomas (Martin Freeman), a \u201chandler\u201d operating with the Israeli Mossad in Germany, works this time with Rachel (Diane Kruger), whose principal mission is in Tehran.  Rachel is a loner, admittedly often lonely as well, a woman  involving herself in a romantic relationship that could damage a major operation: that of setting up an electronics company to convey equipment to Iran which is deliberately destined to fail.  She likes Tehran (there\u2019s no city like it says another character) but without knowing the language, she does her job as an English teacher to young Iranians.  By coincidence, Farhad (Cas Anvar), an executive with the company, hits on her and she responds.  Adler, who scripted the adaptation of \u201cThe English Teacher,\u201d makes us wonder whether the relationship with this playboy-exec is part of a game that she is playing or whether she has made the cardinal mistake of sleeping with the enemy.<\/p>\n<p>As word gets back to Germany about their agent\u2019s faux pas, arguments break out among Mossad agents, some of whom want to \u201ctake out\u201d their flawed operative despite Thomas\u2019s vigorous opposition.  The most suspenseful scene arises when Rachel, burying her body on the floor of a truck with Iranian men whose loyalties are unclear. One of whom actually tries to rape her in a fearfully claustrophobic setting.  <\/p>\n<p>This is an espionage tale that\u2019s more John Le Carr\u00e9 than 007, with a complexity of plotting that might make viewers desire a second viewing.<\/p>\n<p>Kolja Brandt films partly in Berlin, though the areas representing Tehran are not given either on Wikipedia or the Internet Movie Database.  In English, Hebrew and Farsi  with English subtitles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>117 minutes.  \u00a9 2019 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B-<br \/>\nActing \u2013
