content
Four young, corrupt Hamburg commissioner candidates lead a real luxury life with their carefree but by no means unsuspecting women. This is financed primarily through bribes of an underworld size. When she was arrested, despite regular information from the police about upcoming raids and investigations, her ostensible luck threatened to break. The police find themselves in a situation in which they are faced with the decision to kill themselves to save their skin. The fact that the key witness in the case of the problematic arrested person, who of course expects the immediate elimination of this person from “his” police officers, is the friend of one of the young police officers, does not make things any easier. After all, the former friends even threaten each other with death. One of the police officers, Emilie, finally comes to his senses when he learns that his pregnant wife Leila is about to have a premature birth. He prevents the bloody act, but is shot himself in the process.
Reviews
Der Spiegel said that the dark film was “genre cinema for television in its purest form and after all it looks good”. The Lexicon of International Films saw a “television crime film about corruption and loyalties that cannot be guaranteed. A finger exercise that varies an actually familiar story once more. "Above all, Prisma saw" Thanks to the good cast crew [...] a disillusioning everyday picture from the life of police officers "emerged. The Cinema ruled: "Lars Becker's Thriller is not enough to models such as" Serpico approach "but operates with dry wit and cool look. [...] Conclusion: Not a real thriller, but quite "stylish". "
