Meet another master of accents. German star Daniel Brühl not only co-starred with Benedict Cumberbatch in "The Fifth Estate," the opening night film at the Toronto International FIlm Festival that concluded this weekend, but with Chris Hemsworth in another international story based on real people, "Rush," directed by Ron Howard. On Sunday night when "Rush" debuted, also grabbing a round of applause was the man Brühl was playing, legendary Formula 1 racer Niki Lauda, his face still scarred by a near-fatal 1976 racing crash. In "The Fifth Estate" Brühl plays Berliner Daniel Domscheit-Berg, who falls under the sway of Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Bill Condon's timely and ambitious portrait of the many ways that the Internet has changed the way information--even classified documents-- get released to the public will boost Brühl's profile stateside, where he is best known for his role as a Nazi hero in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds"...
