He becomes involved in a murder mystery surrounding a dead GI who washes up at a lakeside mansion during the Potsdam negotiations between the Allied powers.

It feels like an amalgamation of Soderbergh’s grand scale dramatic work and his experimental guerrilla style filmmaking, but the end result is a total miscalculation.
The three leads are woefully miscast.

“He’s not hiding them from the Russians you dumb fucking cheese head”Solid direction from Sody, suffers from a largely uninteresting script (at least to me).
