- Lexicon of international film

"Fine-tuned thrill at cinema level / captivating like" Rififi ", almost a TV classic"

- TV movie

"Federal Film and Grimme Prize Winner Hartmut Schoen (" Gustav Mesmer - Der Flieger "," Phantom-Fieber "), also director of numerous Tatort episodes, filmed a genre mix that is well worth seeing: In addition to fast-paced action sequences, a psychological thriller is developing that is almost in ends in a horror scenario. But despite the gripping and imaginative plot, the very ambivalent and differentiated characters do not go under. They enrich the plot through their personal development and only at the very end reveal their true self. This impression is supported by the excellent performance of the actors, especially Barbara Auer, Ulrich Tukur and Jörg Schüttauf. "
