The original title of the film is Der amerikanische Freund.
Some decent set pieces, but I felt this was a little opaque. Lovely neo-noir atmosphere building, but just didn't add up to much for me.
Masterful cinema with great performances from Hopper and Bruno Ganz, and that last shot is one of the most fantastic in motion picture history. Extremely memorable.
