Trivia:
Like in the previous Films based on his novels, author Wolf Haas has a small cameo. Unlike before not in person, but a photo of him is shown on the back cover of a nonfiction book about gender reassignment. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: EU passport holders need no visa to enter Austria. The bordello owner in Bratislava paid a Slovakian policeman for getting a visa in his EU passport. But concerning the Cyrillic spelling in his passport and as he speaks Russian and drives a Russian car, he doesn't come from Slovakia, rather from Russia. So he needs a visa if he doesn't want any trouble crossing the Slovakian-Austrian border. more

A pretty good dark comedy, 19 November 2009
8/10
Author: suigz-piel from Romania

I don't want you to think that it is actually a comedy,with laugh-out-loud moment.It is a thriller with drops of funny aspects and situations.

Without giving away any spoilers,I'm just going to say that the story is about freelance private investigator who ends up in a rural hotel,where he finds himself in some unexpected situations. There are several negative characters,but none of them can be called actual villains,they are just people trying to make ends meet in their own way.

Production values are great,acting is good,story is mostly unpredictable. Its almost like a Coen brother Austrian film.
