action
The likable Russian Aleksej would like to get out of the Russian mafia. He procures the necessary start-up capital by letting his brother get in on a cash delivery. On the run, he gets into Ella's taxi, pretends to be a Russian businessman and offers her 100,000 DM for a marriage of convenience in order to make his entry into a legal life perfect. However, his former gangster friends do not let the loss sit on them, kidnap Aleksej and Ella also gets into trouble with Aleksej's ex-gang. By then she fell in love with the crook and has a clever plan. In a furious showdown, Ella succeeds in deceiving the mafia gang one more time and escaping with her now beloved Aleksej and the prey.
Reviews
The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" ruled that the film was in parts an entirely original mixture of an action parody and a romantic comedy. At the same time, however, she also complained that the abysses that open up in Ella's flirtation with evil are ultimately filled with normality and harmlessness again.
Lexicon of international film : directorial debut, which is still undecidedly vacillating between comedy and action film, but offers a piece of genre cinema that is quite entertaining by German standards, which is especially appealing thanks to its leading actress.
The German Film and Media Assessment FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating particularly valuable.
