Bloody Street is a German crime film by Dror Zahavi from 2011. It is the 323rd episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 and the 47th case for the Halle inspectors Schmücke and Schneider and the fifth case for Superintendent Nora Lindner ( Isabell Gerschke ) .
Herbert Schmücke is in the clinic after a gunshot wound from the previous case A surefire plan , while Schneider and Lindner are busy investigating the alleged accidental death of a secretary.
action
Late in the evening, Sybille Bohse was run over by a car and died on the spot. A witness is convinced that this was done on purpose and so the homicide squad is investigating. Inspector Schmücke has not yet fully recovered from his gunshot wound in the last case and is still in a clinic. Therefore, Commissioner Schneider is investigating with Chief Commissioner Lindner alone. You first ask Hans Bohse, the victim's husband, who has conspicuously damaged his Volvo in an accident . He declares that he and his wife have a very casual marriage, going their own way. Lindner feels a certain bitterness in his remarks.
In addition to the police, the press is also very interested in this case, because, according to the reporter's research, the woman killed was known from wild sex parties in "higher" circles. Before Schneider and Lindner find the first clues, events roll over: Hans Bohse jumps out of the window of his apartment, which ends fatally for him and the journalist Walter Klaue is murdered. He has been researching the machinations and entanglements between local politics and business for some time and apparently had a hot story up his sleeve. For the new public prosecutor Ole Mahler these hints of the sensational press are too vague and he admonishes the police to remain objective and not to pay any further attention to such wild speculations. Nora Lindner lets herself be infected by this opinion because she fell in love with Mahler. Schneider, on the other hand, wants to shed light on all the possibilities.
After the accident car is found and the DNA traces of Hans Bohse are found there, the police assume that he ran over his wife out of jealousy and then killed himself. With a lot of luck, Klaue was only slightly injured in the explosion of his trailer, but has to be treated in the clinic. There, Schmücke uses the opportunity and arranges for the journalist to be accommodated in his room with him. So he can listen to him a little "as an undercover agent".
For Inspector Schneider, murder out of jealousy is unlikely. Since Sybille Bohse was until recently the secretary of the "construction lion" René Heintze and she may have found out about Heintze's illegal business there, it seems to him more likely that the woman should be silenced by her death. Schneider wants a search warrant for Heintze's business premises to prove the corruption, but the public prosecutor refuses to do so. Lindner began to have doubts about Mahler's loyalty. He is the son of Heiner Kern, a city councilor who is involved in Heintze's business after allegations by the press. After the journalist Klaue finds out that his research, which he had handed over to the public prosecutor Mahler, has been denied by him and he claims that he did not receive this material, he kidnaps Mahler's father in order to persuade the public prosecutor to be honest. He orders him to a delivery point, where he appears with Heintze, but the police are also waiting for him. Lindner has to explain to her lover that forensics can prove that he drove the accident car and that Hans Bohse's DNA was only placed there as a deception.
Public prosecutor Ole Mahler is arrested, as is René Heintze, who is accused of misappropriating funds in the millions and can also be proven with Klaue's research.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv rates this police call very positively and praises it as a "well-timed, varied [] n 'Police call 110', which uses the generational differences in the best possible way, staged by Dror Zahavi with the usual visuals, exquisitely played and not unexciting . "
At Frankfurter Allgemeine , Heike Hupertz sums up quite amused and says: “Not so long ago […] someone at MDR must have woken up and tackled the 'Fresh Wind' operation. Since iron brooms are (or should be) sweeping the station anyway, you might have thought, the opportunity is good to cut off a few old pigtails. ”All in all, in her opinion,“ the hitherto so sedate 'police call' from Halle [... ] no longer recognizable. He shows freshness. And that's good."
The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm gave it a medium rating (thumbs to the side) and found Bloody Street to be “Well occupied, but told very carefully.” And drew the overall conclusion: “Wild bed story, implemented with snoring”.
