I have been following Stephan Taubert's work for several years and after his last movie "The Power of Dreams" he needed a creative break to find a new project. You have to know that as a freelance filmmaker he always tries to get the best out of very little money and after the great success of his last movie he succeeded again. "Phantom" is a stylish thriller filmed in black and white like old Alfred Hitchcock films, combined with some modern aspects of action, thriller and suspense.
This time the focus is on young reporter Madeline, who is in search of her first big story and is supported by the young commissioner Ben Wagner, who is committed to providing a murderer who has been unknown for years, also from a personal point of view. "Phantom" is one of Stephans best films so far and even though he was sometimes inspired by other films, he has turned for his possibilities an exciting thriller in which you learn only in the last five minutes, who is now the real killer ,
Well done, great movie! Hope he comes out with his work really big. (8/10)
