An Ordinary Man

An Ordinary Man is a 2017 American drama film written, directed, and produced by Brad Silberling, starring Ben Kingsley as an infamous former general and war criminal evading capture by international authorities.^[1] The story unfolds primarily within the confines of a single safe-house room in Serbia, where the protagonist, isolated and under constant threat, relies on a young maid—played by Hera Hilmar—as his sole human contact, gradually forming an unexpected bond that tests loyalties and reveals hidden motives.^[1] Peter Serafinowicz co-stars as the general's handler, emphasizing the film's minimal cast and low-budget, claustrophobic production filmed on location in Belgrade.^[2] The narrative draws loose inspiration from real-world accounts of captured dictators' interactions with staff, exploring themes of isolation, morality, and the human capacity for connection amid atrocity, though it has been critiqued for insufficiently confronting the protagonist's past crimes.^[3] Released theatrically in limited fashion in 2018, the film garnered mixed reviews, with praise for Kingsley's nuanced performance but criticism for its vague handling of the war criminal's backstory and ethical ambiguities, reflected in aggregate scores such as 41% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics.^[4] Silberling's script avoids explicit depictions of violence, focusing instead on psychological tension and interpersonal dynamics, positioning the work as a character study rather than a historical reckoning.^[5]

Production

Development

Brad Silberling first conceived the core premise of An Ordinary Man around 2008, drawing from the real-world evasion tactics of Bosnian Serb war criminals like Ratko Mladić and Radovan Karadžić in the aftermath of the Yugoslav Wars. Mladić's 14-year concealment in Belgrade safe houses, despite his role in atrocities such as the Srebrenica massacre, captivated Silberling, inspiring the "big man in a little box" concept of a once-powerful figure reduced to isolation while evading justice. This was not a biographical adaptation but a fictional exploration of how such individuals maintained unrepentant psyches amid confinement.^[6] An earlier catalyst came from Silberling's 2002 attendance at the Sarajevo Film Festival, where he witnessed persistent ethnic fractures and the veneration of war perpetrators as local heroes across Serb, Croat, and Bosniak communities, fueling his interest in the moral ambiguities of post-conflict accountability. The script's development emphasized a psychologically intense, location-bound thriller format to probe these dynamics without relying on overt historical reenactments, prioritizing causal realism in depicting how isolation amplifies internal contradictions. Influences extended to isolated war criminals' human needs, such as Saddam Hussein's rapport with an interrogator during captivity, underscoring even perpetrators' cravings for connection.^[7]^[3] Silberling penned the screenplay solo over nearly a decade, refining its focus on empirical observations of Balkan hideouts and tribunals' uneven enforcement, which pressured Serbia toward EU accession by extraditing fugitives. Completion occurred in the mid-2010s, after iterative drafts balanced thriller tension with introspective depth, setting the stage for production amid financing challenges. The approach avoided partisan narratives, instead privileging first-principles examination of how ordinary routines mask extraordinary culpability in war's wake.^[7]^[3]

Casting

Ben Kingsley was selected to portray the General, a fugitive war criminal central to the film's exploration of moral ambiguity, drawing on his history of embodying complex anti-heroes in roles that demand nuanced restraint rather than overt villainy.^[8]^[9] As a producer on the project, Kingsley influenced key decisions, including recommending co-star Hera Hilmar based on their prior collaboration in The Ottoman Lieutenant.^[10] Hera Hilmar was cast as Tanja, the maid whose interactions drive the intimate core of the narrative, bypassing traditional auditions in favor of a direct offer from Kingsley and a subsequent Skype discussion with director Brad Silberling that confirmed her fit for the role's emotional intensity.^[10] Her emerging presence, honed through Icelandic theater and international films, complemented Kingsley's established gravitas, fostering the required on-screen tension without formal chemistry reads, as their established rapport from previous work informed the selection.^[10]^[4] Peter Serafinowicz took on the supporting role of Miro, the General's handler and driver who facilitates his evasion of capture, utilizing his background in understated thriller supporting parts to add procedural depth without overshadowing the leads.^[11] The production's limited ensemble—primarily Kingsley, Hilmar, Serafinowicz, and minor roles like Robert Blythe as the grocer—reflected budgetary constraints typical of independent features, prioritizing character-driven confinement over expansive casts to heighten the psychological stakes between the General and Tanja.^[8]^[4]

Filming and technical aspects

Principal photography for An Ordinary Man commenced in the fall in Belgrade, Serbia, with additional scenes shot along the Serbia-Bosnia border to evoke the authentic atmosphere of post-Yugoslav urban decay and isolation.^[12]^[6] The production leveraged local Serbian crew and talent, enabling on-location filming that integrated real architectural and environmental details without relying on constructed sets.^[12] Constrained by its independent budget, the film employed a minimalist approach, confining much of the action to interiors like the protagonist's fortified apartment to amplify psychological tension through spatial restriction rather than expansive exteriors.^[13] Cinematographer Magdalena Górka utilized tight framing and subdued lighting to underscore themes of surveillance and entrapment, with handheld shots and shallow depth of field enhancing the sense of claustrophobia and moral confinement.^[14] Editing by Leo Trombetta focused on rhythmic pacing to mirror the characters' mounting anxiety, employing cross-cutting between confined spaces and fleeting external glimpses to heighten unease without overt action sequences.^[15] Post-production wrapped by late 2017, incorporating Christophe Beck's score for atmospheric dread, with no reported major reshoots, reflecting the efficiency of the contained shoot.^[16]^[15]

Plot summary

The film centers on an unnamed Bosnian Serb general (Ben Kingsley), a fugitive wanted for war crimes committed during the Yugoslav Wars, who lives in enforced isolation in a nondescript apartment in a post-conflict Balkan state. Relocated periodically by a clandestine network of loyalists to evade capture by international tribunals, his daily routine is limited to reading, painting, and minimal interactions, with his sole outsider contact being Tanja (Hera Hilmar), a young local woman hired as his maid who initially knows nothing of his identity.^[9]^[4] Over time, Tanja discovers the General's true nature as a perpetrator of atrocities, leading to tense confrontations and an evolving dynamic where she challenges his justifications for his actions amid philosophical debates on morality, power, and the banality of evil.^[9]^[5] When the General suspects his hideout has been compromised by pursuers, he compels Tanja to aid his flight to a new safe house and, ultimately, a return to his war-torn hometown, pitting her familial obligations against her ethical convictions and forcing both to reckon with the war's enduring scars.^[17]^[18]

Themes and historical context

Core themes

The film portrays the banality of evil through the General's monotonous daily existence in hiding—marked by routines like reading literature, preparing simple meals, and engaging in philosophical discussions—which obscures the gravity of his prior orchestration of mass atrocities during wartime.^[19]^[20] This depiction draws on the concept that profound moral failings can stem from unremarkable individuals operating within normalized hierarchies, rather than inherent monstrosity, as evidenced by his affable demeanor toward his maid and bodyguard despite their enforced subservience.^[19] Central to the narrative is the conflict between introspection as a path to redemption and the inescapability of accountability for irreversible harms, with the General's evolving self-awareness—prompted by interpersonal bonds—contrasted against the fixed causal chain of his commands that led to civilian deaths.^[21] His private admissions of regret highlight human capacity for reflection post-conflict, yet the story maintains that such internal shifts do not erase the empirical reality of victims' suffering or the need for external reckoning.^[9] In the confined hotel setting, power dynamics unfold as a interplay of dominance and fragility, where the General initially manipulates his subordinates through charisma and implied threats, only for vulnerabilities to emerge as the maid asserts agency, potentially inverting captor-captive roles through her knowledge of his location.^[9]^[22] This isolation amplifies individual agency, revealing how personal choices in asymmetric relationships can foster unexpected reciprocity or betrayal, grounded in the protagonists' psychological realism rather than ideological absolutes.^[23] The work implicitly challenges reductive media framings of perpetrators as one-dimensional villains by emphasizing empirical facets of human nature—such as rationalization amid chaos and contextual decision-making—over blanket condemnation, urging scrutiny of how ordinary traits enable escalation to horror.^[24]^[19]

Relation to Yugoslav Wars

The film's premise of a concealed warlord echoes the post-Dayton era, when the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, signed on December 14, 1995, halted active combat but left indicted fugitives at large due to weak enforcement mechanisms for arrests.^[25] High-profile Bosnian Serb leaders like Radovan Karadžić, who evaded capture until July 2008 while disguised in Belgrade, and Ratko Mladić, arrested in Serbia in May 2011 after 16 years in hiding, relied on local networks for protection amid uneven international pressure.^[26] ^[27] These concealments, often in ordinary civilian settings, informed the story's exploration of fugitives blending into society, though the character remains a composite invention unbound by specific indictments. The Yugoslav Wars' historical backdrop involved interlocking ethnic-nationalist conflicts from 1991 to 2001, with documented atrocities across Serb, Croat, and Bosniak factions, defying portrayals confined to singular aggressors. Bosnian Serb Army units under Mladić executed over 8,000 Bosniak males in Srebrenica between July 11 and 16, 1995, an act adjudged genocide by the ICTY for its systematic intent to eradicate a community.^[28] Croatian Army operations, notably Operation Storm from August 4-7, 1995, expelled roughly 150,000-200,000 Serbs from the Krajina region, accompanied by unlawful killings, looting, and destruction of over 20,000 Serb homes, as verified by on-site investigations. Bosniak forces committed parallel crimes, including the torture and murder of Serb detainees in camps like those near Zenica in 1992-1993, with ICTY cases documenting targeted civilian attacks.^[29] Such mutual escalations stemmed from cascading secessions after Yugoslavia's 1991-1992 disintegrations, exacerbated by arms embargoes that favored incumbent federal forces initially. ICTY proceedings, operational from 1993 to 2017, yielded 161 indictments and convictions reflecting distributed responsibility: 62 Serbs, 18 Croats, 5 Bosniaks, and others for genocide, crimes against humanity, and violations of war laws, with sentences totaling over 1,000 years imprisonment.^[29] ^[30] This empirical record counters reductive victim-perpetrator binaries prevalent in contemporaneous Western coverage, which, amid NATO's 1999 Operation Allied Force bombing of Serbia (causing 500-2,500 civilian deaths), prioritized Serb-led ethnic cleansings while underemphasizing allied-side abuses, as critiqued in tribunal analyses for prosecutorial focus.^[30] The film's lens thus probes how ordinary individuals navigated these theaters, where post-war normalcy masked complicity without excusing documented horrors, prioritizing evidentiary accountability over politicized attributions.

Release

Premiere and distribution

The film had its world premiere at the Bari International Film Festival in Italy on April 27, 2017.^[31] It subsequently screened at the Austin Film Festival in the United States on October 28, 2017.^[31] These early festival appearances marked an initial rollout focused on niche audiences rather than major circuits, consistent with the independent production's scale. Saban Films acquired North American distribution rights in February 2018, facilitating a limited theatrical release in the United States on April 13, 2018.^[32] The distributor opted for a modest strategy amid the film's sensitive portrayal of a Balkan war criminal, which may have constrained broader theatrical expansion due to potential backlash in markets sensitive to Yugoslav conflict depictions.^[33] Digital and on-demand availability followed shortly on April 17, 2018, broadening access without a significant marketing campaign or awards-season push.^[16] Internationally, releases were sporadic and regionally targeted, including in select European markets around mid-2018 to leverage interest in Balkan-themed narratives, though specifics remained limited owing to the subject matter's controversy.^[31] Streaming platforms like Netflix later hosted the film, enhancing global reach by late 2018 for viewers seeking indie dramas on historical tensions.^[34]

Box office performance

An Ordinary Man received a limited theatrical release in the United States on April 13, 2018, through Saban Films, but generated negligible domestic box office revenue, with no substantial figures reported by major tracking services.^[35] Internationally, the film earned $44,390 across select markets, including $18,754 in the United Arab Emirates starting November 23, 2017, and $25,636 in Colombia during a 2018 re-release.^[36] This resulted in a worldwide theatrical gross of $44,390, underscoring its failure to achieve commercial viability beyond niche audiences.^[36] The modest performance aligns with patterns observed in other low-budget independent thrillers addressing politically charged historical events, where broad theatrical distribution proves elusive.^[35] Primary revenue streams shifted to video-on-demand and home video, with estimated domestic DVD sales totaling $34,743, though these did not offset the lack of theatrical success.^[35] No notable spikes in earnings occurred in subsequent years, confirming the film's limited long-term financial impact.^[36]

Reception and analysis

Critical reviews

The film received mixed reviews from critics, with a 41% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 22 reviews, reflecting divided opinions on its execution despite acclaim for Ben Kingsley's lead performance.^[4] Aggregated scores on Metacritic stood at 52 out of 100 from eight critics, underscoring a general consensus of mediocrity amid debates over the script's handling of its protagonist's moral ambiguity.^[37] Kingsley's portrayal of the General drew consistent praise for its nuance and intensity, with reviewers noting his ability to convey a complex, domineering figure evading justice; one aggregation highlighted it as "worth the price of admission alone" in the two-hander dynamic with Peter Serafinowicz's character.^[4] However, common criticisms targeted the film's slow pacing, contrived dialogue, and failure to authentically depict its Belgrade setting or character motivations, leading to perceptions of superficiality.^[5] RogerEbert.com's Odie Henderson awarded it 1.5 out of 4 stars in April 2018, faulting the overall inauthenticity: "Nothing in 'An Ordinary Man' rings true; not the location, nor the performances nor the story," and dismissing it as reliant on shorthand rather than depth.^[5] Some reviewers appreciated the minimalistic approach to building tension through confined spaces and interpersonal reliance, avoiding graphic violence in favor of psychological strain.^[37] Yet, tonal inconsistencies plagued assessments, with detractors arguing the script wavered between thriller elements and unconvincing redemption arcs, alienating viewers skeptical of sympathetic framing for a war criminal archetype.^[37] This split often aligned with audiences favoring Kingsley's draw versus those prioritizing rigorous scrutiny of the narrative's ethical evasions.^[4]

Audience response

Audience members have rated An Ordinary Man moderately on user-driven platforms, reflecting a divided reception focused on its introspective thriller elements rather than broad entertainment value. On IMDb, the film holds a 5.7/10 average from approximately 3,700 user ratings, with viewers frequently praising Ben Kingsley's portrayal of the protagonist's internal conflict and moral ambiguity as a highlight of psychological nuance.^[2]^[38] Letterboxd users assign it an average of 3.0/5 stars based on over 690 logs, where logged reactions emphasize the film's neutral tone and depiction of emotional detachment as potentially realistic for its subject matter, though some express uncertainty about its overall impact or message. Positive comments often center on the exploration of gray-area ethics in isolation, appealing to those interested in character-driven dramas, while detractors describe the narrative as preachy or the protagonist's redemption as underdeveloped and unconvincing.^[14] The film's appeal remains niche among thriller enthusiasts drawn to subdued tension over action or unambiguous heroism, evidenced by its steady presence on streaming services like Prime Video and Roku without indications of widespread popularity surges.^[39] Lower rating volumes compared to mainstream releases suggest limited grassroots buzz post-theatrical run.

Controversies over portrayal

Critics have accused the film of unduly humanizing a perpetrator of war crimes, arguing that its sympathetic portrayal of the General risks eliciting undue empathy for an individual responsible for atrocities akin to genocide during the Bosnian War.^[24] This perspective posits that delving into the character's inner life, including moments of vulnerability and regret, potentially normalizes or softens the gravity of Balkan atrocities, where systematic ethnic cleansing targeted Bosnian Muslims and Croats.^[40] Director Brad Silberling countered such criticisms by emphasizing his intent to probe the psychological complexity of ordinary individuals capable of extraordinary evil, without excusing or justifying the acts themselves; he described the script as a deliberate exploration of how war criminals might grapple with isolation and self-reflection post-conflict, drawing from real-world observations of post-Yugoslav hiding figures.^[41] Silberling noted the challenge in humanizing such a figure while maintaining narrative tension, aiming to illustrate the "banality of evil" through mundane routines rather than overt redemption arcs.^[3] Ben Kingsley's portrayal amplified these debates, as the actor stated in 2018 interviews that he consciously refused to judge the character, striving instead to embody the General's unrepentant yet introspective mindset to avoid simplistic moralizing.^[42] This approach drew backlash for allegedly downplaying the specificity of Serb-led violence, such as the Srebrenica massacre in July 1995, where over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were executed, though Kingsley maintained that authentic performance required suspending personal condemnation to reveal underlying human frailties.^[43] Defenses of the film's approach, often from perspectives skeptical of International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) proceedings, highlight its role in countering narratives that disproportionately emphasize Serb culpability amid documented mutual atrocities; for instance, Croatian forces' Operation Storm in August 1995 displaced approximately 200,000 Krajina Serbs and involved reprisal killings, yet received less sustained Western media scrutiny compared to Serb actions.^[19] Proponents argue this selective focus in academia and mainstream outlets—where ICTY convictions totaled 90 Serbs, 18 Croats, and 13 Bosniaks—fosters victim hierarchies that overlook empirical evidence of widespread ethnic violence, positioning the film as a corrective that underscores causal factors like retaliatory cycles over one-sided villainy. Such views critique left-leaning institutional biases for prioritizing condemnation of Serb perpetrators while underemphasizing comparable Bosniak and Croatian war crimes, as evidenced by UN reports on systematic expulsions across factions.
