    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Based on the true story that shocked a nation in the summer of 1988.
    • Goofs
      The license plate on the vehicle provided by the Dutch police uses the authentic registration (HR-20-TN), but the font and spacing don't match those used for Dutch license plates in 1988.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening titles and the closing credits listed the actors but none of them had a corresponding character name - even for the major characters.

    Breathtaking!
    If only police, politicians and press had known what they were doing back then - 1988 when this incident happened - as well as director Kilian Riedhoff in fact knows his job! Nothing like this would have happened! Smart and sharp edged his work is keeping the spectator in the sniper position, always observing the hostage-taker through a virtual telescope never looking away, constantly ready to fire. A brillant thriller/drama/document about a sad and disturbing true story.
