A surefire plan is a German TV film by director Roland Suso Richter from 2014 . Holger Karsten Schmidt wrote the script . In the main role , Richy Müller embodies the master carpenter Klaus Roth, who becomes a bank robber.

action

The master carpenter Roth has to close his business and fire almost all employees, as the interest that his house bank demands from him is increasing and he can no longer pay it. Together with his former employee, Achim Buchert, who was trained as a lone fighter for the German armed forces in Afghanistan, he decides to rob a money truck that is delivering to the bank that he believes has robbed him of his savings.

The robbery on the money transporter turns out to be of little use, as it turns out that the money transport was only a test run and the actual money transfer was not planned until the following day, as the till systems were not yet working properly. The situation turns over when it takes longer than expected until at least the small sample money cassette of the money transporter is opened. After Roth and Buchert realized that the police are now on site, the two take refuge in the bank, which they never intended to enter.

As a result of discussions and unforeseen incidents, the situation for the two of them becomes increasingly dramatic and hopeless. Since in the course of the negotiations the responsible State Criminal Police Office, which has meanwhile taken over the investigation, becomes increasingly unclear how the apparently injured bank employees are doing, a special police unit intervenes. Roth and Buchert are killed by targeted shots when the emergency services are attacked by a smuggled detective who disguised herself as a nurse.

Reviews

  • Thomas Gehringer from Tittelbach.tv saw the film as "extremely exciting and moving" and as a "contemporary, more than respectable television variation" of Sidney Lumet's 1975 film Hundstage .
  • The program magazine TV Spielfilm rates the film in its own rating system as the highest in the suspense category , while other categories such as humor and aspiration tend to lag behind the action category, which is rated as medium .
  • Oliver Junge says in the Frankfurter Allgemeine : “At the center of the actually well-constructed thriller is left-wing political German explanatory television that also goes hand in hand with German soap dramaturgy [...] That is just a shame. This film is still exciting until the end. "
