The Dead Man and the Sea is a German television film by Peter Keglevic from 2012. It is the 23rd and penultimate film in the ZDF crime series Das Duo .

action

In their penultimate case, the two commissioners Marion Ahrens and Clara Hertz determine the death of Uwe Oberbaum, a holiday guest of the Feddersen family in the Baltic Sea resort of Seedorf, who was found dead on the beach. After the first examinations it is clear that the man was killed. Oberbaum had retired to Seedorf so that he could write his doctoral thesis here in peace.

Ahrens and Hertz investigate within the leisure facility and in the private environment of the deceased. In doing so, they track down a drug smuggling. A ferry arrives every three days, from where packages with counterfeit medicines are thrown into the sea, which Arne Feddersen then brings ashore duty-free. However, the victim was killed by Manfred Hansen, who worked on the smuggling and who had discovered Uwe Oberbaum.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv rated: “A beach corpse in the Bay of Lübeck - and many who make themselves suspicious. The rhythm of the investigation adapts to the landscape and the north German population. American optics, impressive images and a top cast: Kampwirth, Koeberlin, Wiesnekker, Franke, Tonke. But the story doesn't keep the promise made by the director, camera and actors. A more fundamental criticism! "

Also Quotenmeter.de could not find much words of praise and wrote: "Some films may get the impression that there are producers who are seriously believe that a lean script be compensated by an impressive aesthetics in any way and at the end by another acceptable product could emerge. The new edition of 'Das Duo' […] proves, however, that this is not the case at all. Dramaturgically, one trudges with sight from one defect into the next. The lame build-up of tension with which one struggles over the entire duration is just one of many problems. "" The aesthetics, which are admittedly impressive in parts, actually seem out of place. "

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm gave it a medium rating (thumbs to the side) and found: “Well illustrated, but overconstructed.” As an overall conclusion, they drew “Simply too much driftwood for one case”.
