Ben Kingsley stars in the indie political drama An Ordinary Man. The film follows a Serbian war criminal who’s being sheltered by supporters as he takes advantage of a new maid to slip the security restrictions his benefactors have placed on him, endangering both of their lives. Kingsley gives a strong performance and has good chemistry with co-star Hera Hilmar; having a bit of a mentor/student relationship. And the script explores some interesting themes; namely one man’s butcher is another man’s hero, and freedom is relative. However, it plays a little coy with what The General did and whether he really was a criminal or just a man of war. An Ordinary Man addresses some complicated and thought-provoking issues, but it isn’t quite sure where it’s going and ends up kind of petering out.

An enjoyable two-hander - this comic drama isn't extraordinary, but it is nicely played by Kingsley and Hilmar.

was enjoying this so much and then they gave us that "twist" shit sandwich at the end :(
