action
A female boxer dies of a heart attack in the ring. Her opponent Martina Oberholzer then decides to stop doping immediately. As a kind of “life insurance”, it collects information in a booklet, including the addresses of those involved. In order to force her to continue boxing and doping for financial reasons, her manager, Sven Brügger, locks her in a cellar. Shortly afterwards, however, Bruges of all people was shot, apparently by the criminal investigation officer Heinz Oberholzer, the godfather of the kidnapped boxer.
At the scene of the crime, the investigators Flückiger and Ritschard find a laptop that has a video connection to the captured boxer. She could die of thirst in her dungeon, her whereabouts are unknown, and so the investigators' race against time begins.
Heinz Oberholzer is transferred to the prison where Pius Küng, the suspected mastermind behind the kidnapping, is incarcerated.
Already unconscious, Martina Oberholzer is found and saved in the end. Ferdi Oberholzer, her father, confesses that he shot Bruges. His brother took on the act to elicit the whereabouts of the boxer in Küng prison.
background
The film was shot from April 16, 2018 to May 17, 2018.

Reviews
“At the start of this 'crime scene', which aims to be both enlightening and disturbing, there are a few hard hits. After that, the action goes into a tailspin under the great claim. [...] Now the season ends with a Swiss episode that starts immediately after the boxer clinch. Knockout before the summer break, bam! "
"Towards the end, the people of Lucerne really get dressed - and take your breath away with a real thriller in" Counted Out "."
“The Swiss 'crime scene: counted out' is merciless, but not necessarily a good crime thriller. […] A countdown that the police stuck over the live image is supposed to provide a thrill. [...] The film does not succeed in generating tension from this constellation. "
“Unclear focus. Sound confused? Is it also because this “crime scene” never quite knows what to focus on: the dirty business with steroids? [...] The storylines don't interlock, the fight against time lacks inner tension. "
“The film misses a serious examination of the milieu and remains full of exaggerated moments. A 'race against time' in the form of a kidnapping victim dying of thirst, which the investigators observe on the screen, does little to help. "
