Querschläger is a German television film by Marcus O. Rosenmüller from 2011. It is the forty-second film in the ZDF crime film series Stubbe - Von Fall zu Fall with Wolfgang Stumph in the title role.

action

Stubbe and his colleague Zimmermann start the investigation into the homicide of the teenager Paul. Paul spent his free time with his friends in front of Arne Tembrock's bicycle shop, with whose daughter Amelie he was deeply in love, but she did not reply. He expressed his love in his own rap texts, which Stubbe found in his room. Arne Tembrock is targeted by the suspects, because he was annoyed by the constant harassment of the young people in front of his shop and he did not like at all that Paul was also targeting his daughter. Stubbe gets to know Tembrock as a very friendly and sociable person, whom he does not trust that he would risk his life's work - the bicycle shop - and his freedom and become a criminal. In addition, his wife is dependent on a wheelchair and her husband after an accident. But Stubbe doesn't really know what to do with Amelie, because on the one hand she rejected Paul, but was also intimate with him for a short time, even though she has a boyfriend.

Stubbe and Zimmermann cannot rule out that Paul's murderer is to be found in his teenage gang, because the violent youngsters also handled weapons, as can be seen in their photos, which they publish on the Internet. However, the gang makes it clear that they think Tembrock is the culprit and starts a new provocation campaign. You distribute a self-created profile all over the street and stick it specifically on all the shop windows of the bike shop and the neighboring shops. Tembrock has had enough and has a plan how to end the whole thing. He wants to fake an attack on himself with a self-firing system, but the controlled detonation of an aerial bomb in the neighborhood triggered the weapon too early and seriously injured Tembrock, which he had not planned. After being admitted to the clinic, Stubbe takes a closer look at the crime scene and finds the weapon. Since this is the pistol with which Paul was shot, there is no longer any doubt about Tembrock's guilt. Stubbe would have liked to be wrong.

Subplot

After she was given notice, Stubbe's daughter Christiane got a job as a spokeswoman for a private radio station in Hamburg. It doesn't take long and she quickly has an unknown admirer who sends her enigmatic gifts that she doesn't know what to tell her. So she puts her father on the riddle as a criminalist and with Charlotte's help they actually come up with the solution. Helge sent Christiane a hidden love message that shows that he wants to fight for her.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said: “Anyone who likes intergenerational, serial crime thriller entertainment, who does not go against the grain of the common sense of Stubbe's common sense - cannot criticize 'ricochets' by Michael Illner and Marcus O. Rosenmüller too much . "

At evangelisch.de , Tilmann P. Gangloff said: “No other crime series is so much a family saga. The narrative level with the life path of Stubbe's daughter Christiane (Stumph's daughter Stephanie) was not always integrated convincingly in the end, but this time it literally provides a bang. ”Overall, the“ film is entertaining and with a lot of sympathy for its characters; also for the suspects. ”Also“ the resolution of the case is quite surprising, but the greater quality of the script (Michael Illner) is its complexity, because every narrative thread has a sub-level; be it the rap songs of the young people or the mysterious messages that Christiane receives from an unknown admirer. "

For critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm was ricocheting a "Hamburg thriller there with a pinch of social drama" and awarded the film the best possible rating (thumbs up).
