A very decent German film, the police caught a notorious serial killer who had cruelly murdered a dozen of young children's lives. But the police needed the proof, so they called on a rural policeman who had been investigated in a previous murder case that the killer killed a young girl at his village.
Then the policeman and the killer played a typical mental game to obtain their goals, the killer set a trap and almost managed to mislead the policeman do one regretful thing, but no worries, finally there's a happy ending.
I love the beginning of the film when the police enclosed the building where the killer resided, and the action scene is simple but wonderful! The middle part is a tedious, but the suspenseful atmosphere is good, and the tense in the end is well-handled. especially the lovely deer, a truly amazing grace! The film put enough amount of effort on the relationship between father and son. Even between the closest persons, suspicion still can occur, human beings are suspicious, that's the poor human nature, no matter how we love each other, we can not be total trustful to each other, it's an almost unreachable level which I am so eager to reach, but I know it's impossible, we are troublemakers and sometimes are too confident and sometimes are so vulnerable to give up.
All in all, this film seems to be a little bit too long for 130 mins, the acting is fine but Andre Hennicke's performance is too over as the freaky killer. you can watch it if you like criminal story, if not you can save your time then.
