action

When Rüdiger Sutor, known in the scene as the “male”, president of the Dark Dogs motorcycle club , dies, the police initially assume a gang war, precisely because the clubhouse was previously ransacked with an automatic fire weapon. Only Chief Inspector Jens Stellbrink has a different idea. He assumes a crime within the "family", ie within the club. His suspicion falls on prospect Tim Rowert. But it turns out that this one appointed by prosecutor Nicole Dubois undercover agent is. Dubois tries to keep Stellbrink out of the investigation, but this doesn't bother him and continues to investigate within the club. It's about the new designer drug "Paradise", stronger than heroin , crystal meth and crack .

Stellbrink digs deeper and is constantly in distress. His investigation reveals that the shots at the clubhouse were fired on behalf of the prosecutor to speed up Rowert's admission. Finally, the undercover agent himself is targeted by the rocker gang. But instead of burying him in a wasteland, he receives full membership. Just in time, Marx stopped Stellbrink, who was about to blow up the meeting.

Finally, the drugs should be handed over. Stellbrink is assigned to protect Rowert's friend Taya. He quickly notices that the handover is a trap. But his colleagues haven't listened to him for a long time. So he carries out his further investigations alone. On the day Rüdiger Sutor died, he wanted to rape Taya, but discovered that she was a Kathoey . Taya knew how to defend herself and killed the rock boss in self-defense . Rowert then covered up the murder.

Stellbrink is now clear that Taya and Rowert are in mortal danger. But he comes too late, the gang has kidnapped the two and is about to execute them in a remote warehouse. The inspector can set the gears and bluff in order to free the two of them from the violence of the rockers. Reinforcements arrive just in time. The gang members are arrested.

Reviews

The Süddeutsche Zeitung titled the second Saar crime scene with Devid Striesow in the headline with "Stolen lifetime". The story is a Western parody, but it misses its target.

“The rockers in this bad crime scene: cartoons. As ridiculously grim as the bad guys from the children's program. For example, they are called "Mutti" and speak of the Pullermann when they talk about genitals. The prosecutor: a cartoon that says sentences like the lawyers on cheap TV: 'Do you want to question my judgment?' "

- Holger Gertz : Süddeutsche Zeitung

TV Spielfilm showed with the thumb to the right, which corresponds to a middle rating, awarded one of three possible points for humor and tension, two for action and criticized: “A lot of hot air - unfortunately doesn't rock at all” under the heading How realistic is it Rocker crime scene? TV feature film dealtwith the crime scene episode. To Striesow it says: “Devid Striesow, as Saarland commissioner Stellbrink, deals with the fictional rocker gang Dark Dogs in an over-the-top humorous way.” Frank I. Aures drew the conclusion: “The Wikipedia rocker facts, the actors have to recite it, but otherwise the film has little to do with reality. It's not that bad, just a bad television crime thriller. And the missed opportunity to explain an important current topic. "

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said "the gap" between Stellbrink "and his fellow campaigners, colleague Lisa Marx, who barely looked up because of all the deliberate Lara Croftchiness", and "Public Prosecutor Dubois, who made her boss's penetrance at least a little bit" have gone back, had "decreased". However, the main character is now becoming increasingly nervous. A "single action and dialogue confusion. An alleged smirking thriller without a comprehensible comic concept! "The crime film is also" a medium catastrophe in terms of dramaturgy and tension. " “Linear narration” grows “into a chaotic number revue”. One should simply not follow the film after 30 minutes. And even the Striesow bonus consumes itself noticeably ”. The critic gave 2½ out of a possible six stars.

Christian Buß rated the film for Spiegel Online and said, “Organized crime on the funny tour. This crime thriller is another low point in the 'crime scene' trend towards gross nonsense ”. "Non-binding, flat, infantile". The critic went on to write: “What began in the first Saar 'Tatort' with Devid Striesow with the unconditional will to be funny is mercilessly continued here. [...] How noncommittal, flat, even infantile this crime thriller is becomes clear when you compare it with the brilliant Rostock rocker “Police Call” from last year. It actually succeeded in tracing the milieu with some precision and at the same time descending into the fragile psyche of one of the tough guys. "

On the website tatort-fundus.de the crime scene only achieved an average rating of 3.53000 points with 230 ratings. (As of October 29, 2019) Only seven crime scenes were rated even worse.
