action
When Babo and his brother-in-law Memo, who is also part of Cenk's clique, go in search of the alleged culprit Serkan, no one is aware of the effects this little hoax would have. Serkan is threatened, kidnapped, beaten and no longer moves. Memo panics, feels guilty and laments about the dreams he has had for a long time and that he didn't want any of these. He admits that he used all the cocaine alone with Cenk and his friends, thereby exposing the lies in front of his brother-in-law. Towards the end of the film, Babo realizes that he may have hunted down an innocent man.
Reviews
“Four young Turks want to start a career as drug dealers, which fails not least because they constantly consume their own goods. A feature film debut that often seems like a documentary, which depicts the handling and sale of cocaine in an exceptionally realistic manner and observes the four loser types with a handheld camera on the street, on the couch, in aggression or in a coma. The result is a remarkably unglamorous and revealing insight into the German drug underground. "
“The successful producers Benjamin Eicher and Timo Joh. Mayer provide with the up-and-coming film distributor Alpha Centauri Studios in" Koxa "an insight into the world of the little gangsters, which is tough, unadorned and quite impressive. Director and producer Ekrem Engizek successfully uses authentic images and elementary dialogues to give the scene a face. By merging cinematic and documentary recordings, he creates a look that gives the viewer the feeling of being fully involved. With this special style, far removed from the conventional film look, he stages a loving, but at the same time very critical representation of a socially disadvantaged society and thus offers a completely new view of this world. "
"Ekrem Engizek's directorial debut takes his viewers into the world of bored drug dealers and thus quickly becomes bored themselves. While the language and the game are still somewhat convincing for laypeople," Koxa "suffers above all from poorly developed characters and a non-existent dramaturgy."
“The dramatic moments never have any real impact. The characters remain too distant, too alien to be interested in what happens to them. If nothing actually happens, then the originally welcome idea of shooting a rough drug milieu drama becomes a rather monotonous affair. "
