Very entertaining piece. It lives from the great characters which really deliver the atmosphere from the big - but at the same time very small - city of cologne.
It shows insights on how corruption can and did take place. I genuinly love the parts about the state executors and how they take part in the corrupt system.
The movie achieves to give you a realistic and thoughtful insight into how corruption can sneak into righteous citizens and eat them from the insight over time. At the same time it doesnt take itself too serious and has a lot of brilliant and fun moments. For example when ash cleans the toilet or when he cuts the art piece into pieces for his client. The manager middlehof at the same time maybe is a little over the top. But again i dont find that the movie takes itself to serious here. Its portrays the manager with a winking eye in the end.
So overall it was a very entertaining movie with a little bit of food for thought about public service and public good.
