Interesting Story

The acting is just passing. This is about 50/50 German/US cast. I think the US actors are 2nd tier... For the German actors, it is probably language, production style etc that makes them weaker. Also they are mostly TV actors from the look of it. I like the setting and story. Many things are underplayed in a serious circumstance. The story confuses 2 plots which does not add to the movie. For the cost of the production, sites, etc this could have been a 10. This does cover current issues in Europe and current ways of thinking in my opinion (good or bad). I would say this is the type of movie you see on cable and that is where I saw it. The mob guys in this are not portrayed well and movie bad guy roles are usually not hard to do.
