Featured review
Please change the horses!
The Stuttgart team of the Tatort series struggles to get a foot on the ground. The reason is that the two main cops, Lannert and Bootz, relationship is not clearly developed. As a result we watch their antics and don't know what to make of them. Tödliche Tarnung is already their 6 outing but by far not their best. And this though the story was a clever one, mixing the past of Lannert with a new case of murder and explaining why Lannert had moved from Hamburg to Stuttgart.
Alas, the story was ill developed, the direction lame and only the last half hour of the film had some life in it. This is sad since the idea was to give Lannert a tragic background which would have brought him much sympathy. Normally. But when it is so weakly executed any special interest in Lannert will not last to the next installment. The sideline with the young girl next door could be interesting but until now it seems to lead nowhere and we don't know what this is all about.
The character of Bootz is only interesting as long as he tries to make out Lannert, but he does not show any personal traits and his private life looks like a commercial for family insurance. So please: get some life into them! Or otherwise please change the horses. Since there are so many teams in the Tatort series we could easily live without this one. Maybe a new team with more developed characters will succeed.
