Then when he met Gerry, they started devising a plan to become real estate millionaires.

Reviews

This section consists only of a cunning collection of quotes from movie reviews. Instead, a summary of the reception of the film should be provided as continuous text, which can also include striking quotations, see also the explanations in the film format .

The film received mixed reviews. Juliane Klein from citizens.de writes that the subject matter and concept of the film were convincing. She further writes:

“Betonrausch goes deep into the real estate swamp, with all its possibilities to exploit it in legal and illegal ways and to enrich yourself from it. Although the makers of the film wanted to enjoy this to the full, in our opinion they were not able to depict the complexity quite as well. "

Oliver Kaever wrote at Spiegel Kultur :

“Like its predecessor, Betonrausch is on the accelerator and the brake at the same time. Like there, it's about excess, but please not too wild. For a local spirit, but please in such a way that you can also understand it in Johannesburg. For an unequal society, but please not at the cost of real interference. To stretch a gene formula, but only so far that the shell remains intact. If one wanted to formulate it linguistically, one could say: 'concrete rush' is another Netflix speech act of improper speaking. "

Author Sebastian Groß writes on moviebreak.de u. A., Betonrausch managed to show clearly and understandably how two fraudsters can use and manipulate the economic system to your advantage thanks to the right contacts, the courage to be audacious and criminal. He also writes:

“Although the film is not based on a specific true story, after seeing Cüneyt Kaya's third directorial work, there is no doubt that it must have happened more often than not like this or something like that. In fiction, as in reality, the victims are the ones who suffer. Just like with The Big Short or The Wolf of Wall Street, Betonrausch is so addicted to the perpetrators and their world of fraud and possession that there is no real place in the film for the injured party. "
