Anyone who compares this to Zodiac should stop writing about movies, like seriously this is totally different kind of movie, accenting social hell of 1970s NDR and the characters who try to (in case of Fritz very violently) navigate throughAnyone who compares this to Zodiac should stop writing about movies, like seriously this is totally different kind of movie, accenting social hell of 1970s NDR and the characters who try to (in case of Fritz very violently) navigate through life without even glimpse of something better in the future. American critics should just learn a thing or two about history of Europe or simply just don't watch this.… Expand

And disgusting and disturbing - felt like puking a couple of times. Still haunted by gruesome depictions and scenes from this movie. I wish I could unsee it. # - # - # - # I'm a rather content, I've watched the film in its entirety, and i absolutely regret it. The hauntingly disgusting sex-scenes and gore still haunt me on a regular basis, even months after watching it... in the worst possible way. The movie feels like an anti hollywood movie - the way the movie is shot, the scenes, plots and characters and their respective arcs are handled in a very deviant way. But this movie goes to show, that different definetely doesn't equal good. Far from it.

I'd rate this movie 0 out of 10 - but I have to give credit to the actor playing the main role - he really nailed the disgusting character that the directors wanted him to play that well, that the thought of him still gives me nightmares.

In case any of the movie directors reads this:
If the best thing one can say about your movie is that it had an ending, then it is a sh!#ty movie.… Expand

It's everything you could want from a serial killer film. The book, on the other hand, is an even more disturbing, tragic, and darkly comical masterpiece, though.

the main actor puts on a good show, and really makes you feel uneasy.
the movie itself, it's just uncomfortable to watch.. especially the sad bar that inhabits all of those social rejects and alcoholics.
the story is also very easy tothe main actor puts on a good show, and really makes you feel uneasy.

the story is also very easy to anticipate, and to me, it's un-origianl and is very much like any other ted bundy-esque films, where you always kind of know what is going to happen.

wouldn't recommend watching.… Expand

Finally someone saved the german movie from total insignificance. we are in some situation, where the cultural output couldnt be worse: government subsudies only support movies and series, which are hilarious. German movies therefore areFinally someone saved the german movie from total insignificance. we are in some situation, where the cultural output couldnt be worse: government subsudies only support movies and series, which are hilarious. German movies therefore are always stupid comedy trash like "KeinOhrhasen", also the german system is so bad in its selection, that we can call Till Schweiger and Matthias Schweighöfer as our greatest actors. As german citizen, this generates several problems for the spectator: you cant watch a zombie movie without facepalming, when Schweighöfer once again totally messes everything up. You cant watch a Netflix series imitation like "barbarians" or "tribes of Europe" without sinking to the bottom. A general feeling of cultural inferiority defines the german perspective and the experiment to mimic american shows makes this situation even more awkward. I really want to thank Fatih Akin at this point, because he really shows a way out of the german misery which leads right into the real german misery, into the darkness of isolation in cities like Hamburg, Berlin and lots of other locations of the forgotten worlds of german history. The whole presentation shines with authenticity, the character portrayal seems so real, especially in the grim situations of this movie the spectator feels this situation has happened and still happens a thousand times all over the globe. The way is real, instead of another glossy hollywood mimic, Akin goes below into milieus, which do not exist in our construction and are everywhere in the same time. The forgotten worlds, the forgotten people, the smile of broken faces are nothing entertaining for the netflix community. Therefore i also have to thank all the bad critics of glossy american magazines and spectators: I could expect nothing less of the warped unworldly Netflix generation: your dislike underlines the real greatness of this movie.… Expand
