first impression was bad camera, bad actors. but i think this was not supposed to be a Hollywood kind of movie. the camera produced quite good pictures and angles, but the quality was handy cam like. sometimes characters and story appeared to be very much based on "la haine" but overall i think it's a good movie. the movie shows the life of four young men living in Berlin, who promised to be friends forever after they accidentally killed a guy in their youth. years later, they face different problems and get to know the rough inner city life. at the end their friendship comes at a high price. like i said it's very much "la haine" in German and that means it's a real nice movie, perhaps it would have been better with a higher budget.

Good movie a small budget
lfrancke3 June 2005
This was a good movie ! It has been said before, this was a low-budget movie. But what they were able to do with it is amazing. The locations chosen for this movie just fit perfectly, it shows the "real" Berlin. The acting is not flawless, but the authentic music an pictures make it all worth seeing! Even a famous Berlin Hiphop - Artist along with his music finds his way into the movie. If you are young and you know Berlin, you will definitely feel like at home when watching this movie ! And for the guys: Yes, a very attractive young blond beauty is part of the movie too. The story is one that everyone understands; three young boys living in "Schoeneberg Pallas" are confronted with problems, which they try to solve as a group, and the resulting decision they make lead them to the title of the movie, roughly translated as "3 Kings, 4 Rules"...
