Despite being European, this German thriller aligns more with the American school of cinema. It captivated me with its perfect pacing, allowing me to watch it as one would enjoy a cup of coffee, without needing to pay excessive attention to details or suspend disbelief too much. It is not, however, a simplistic film; the plot is interesting and atmospheric, and the dialogues, although simple, are not silly. The core of the story and the good performances make it a solid thriller. Perhaps it could have been better without the unnecessary additions that the director includes to please the producers who finance the work, but even so, it's a film worth checking out.
