Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Yes, really one of the worse. The story, the characters, everything in the movie is stupid and absurd. I ask myself if it is sponsored by some car constructor, because the car seems stronger than a tank. The main char that doesn't know his phone and loses his glasses but he can see everything without problem, the killer that uses as password the birth date of the other people son (how he knows it?), the guns with infinite bullets, the people in the bank still lying on the ground after the two robbers are gone, then I don't believe in Germany (unlike the U.S.) are allowed rewards for the capture of wanted, the police that says "we have lose the ambulance" (during the chase) while the same ambulance is with sirens blaring, and so many many other absurd things (as the final killer suicide). You can look at it only for to see how a movie has NOT to be. It is not enough some car crash for to do a good (or funny) movie. I have to remember the director name, so I will not waste my time in the future.

I recently watched this movie and cannot understand why everyone bashes this movie like it is the worst thing they have ever seen. It is easy to watch and gives you everything you need for a good and entertaining Sunday night movie marathon. The storyline is not so far from the truth and the acting by mostly German actors is promising and believable through out the movie. Especially the acting done by the young German actress Cosma Shiva Hagen, makes me wish to see her in future productions which challenge her to become an even better actress as she already is. About Gary Dourdan, he needs to learn not to overact and make some of his emotions not as believable as they could be, but overall solid performance.Enjoy Your Sunday Night...

This is a tremendous unrealistic movie. Everything is bad. It start swhen the Mercedes front was completely destroyed, after 1 second it was already okay, passing through an impossible roll of situations, and the movie ends with the main character defusing the bomb 1 second before it explodes..... (Classic!! Almost cried.. Wasn't Macgyver available for this movie? Or..Steven Seagal?). But the way he defuse the bomb is the best...I won't tell you! If you are a producer, may be you should watch this movie, to understand everything you must avoid when you're making a movie. Basically, this entire movie.

I'm not much of a reviewer but I watch a lot of movies. I've never seen worse acting or a more unbelievable story than this. This takes "Hokey" to a whole new level. Stay away from this one if you put any value at all on your time. I'm not a big fan of the CSI TV shows but I know the main character, Gary Dourdan from there so I know he at least has the capability to act. In this role it's like every line is strained and what's worse is that everything he says and does is completely, utterly, unrealistic. For instance, if you're outside of a bank that's being robbed and your wife is inside, you're not going to tell some stranger that calls you on someone else's phone that somehow finds it's way into your pocket that your wife is inside the bank and go further to tell him her name. This is just the start, it gets much worse, and it's not limited to him, but I'm not wasting any more of my time on this stinker.Hope you guys find this useful.
