Reviews
“In the meantime, one could set up a German chronology of failure in the thriller genre, from Dominik Graf's ' Die Sieger ' to Tom Tykwer's ' The International ' and Christoph Hochhäusler's ' Die Lügen der Sieger ' to Philipp Leinemann's film. Sometimes it was the money, sometimes the script, but the real reason behind the many defeats is the lack of a traditional craftsmanship in high-class crime novels in Germany. The ' crime scene ' is not a master school after all. "
"The complex political thriller creates a difficult-to-understand mixture of economic interests, geopolitical strategies, power calculation and corruptibility as a mirror of the dissonant present, but for the finale it chooses a forgiving, petty-bourgeois variant in which private vengeance serves as a means of pressure for a better world."
“The director dares to argue that the real enemy is lurking within. "The End of Truth" is unusual genre cinema from Germany. The movie is best where it just shows explosions, shootings and assassinations. Cool, clear and unsentimental. And especially in this very plausible. "
