Who Am I (2014) User Reviews

Finally a good hacker movie

[Seth_Rogue_One · 8/10 · 4 December 2015]

I haven't seen a big amount of them (probably to due because not many of them are made) but the ones I have seen have, even if they were somewhat entertaining they always seem to fail on the technology-aspect to the point that you wonder if the scriptwriters even have used a computer at some times.

Here it's pretty clear that the script-writer has a lot of knowledge of how hacking works and computers in general, even though I'm sure that some who know the field still have a lot to complain about but for the average Joe in the technical aspects of computer technology most things makes sense.

As far as the whole story goes, I mean sure it's not as realistic as it would be if someone would document the life of a hacker surely and it's more of a thriller than a drama but it's not all that far-fetched that you roll your eyes or anything and it entertains most certainly.

Acting is stellar as well.

So yeah even if you are getting second thoughts when you find out that it's a German movie, it's definitely worth going through the 'tough task' of reading subtitles I assure you and no I haven't seen an English speaking hacker-movie that tops this one so yes definitely recommended.

Finally a great (cyber) thriller made in Germany.

[timo-hellmund · 9/10 · 1 October 2014]

It is not very often that a German movie tries to do something else than Til Schweiger / Schweighöfer standard comedy. Who am I is one of those very rare films from Germany which deals with a serious subject, has a serious tone and plot and can compete with international movies in the same budget range.

This movie - regarding the mediocre budget - surprisingly can compete with international films. The plot is constantly exciting, the actors are very good, especially Tom Schilling in the lead role. And the ending is something I have never seen in a German film before. A real mindfvck and very clever.

The film is unique in its way to show the Darknet (no spoilers) in a very understandable way. The chosen imagery to show what is going on behind the screen is innovative and is visualized in a way, even people without knowledge of the subject can easily understand and follow the plot.

Who am I definitely is one of the best German thrillers I've ever seen and easily one of the best German films in this century so far. It is good to see young and talented German directors get the chance to finally make movies which do not need to hide behind Swedish or french films. This movie thankfully does not feel "typisch Deutsch" but much more mature and with a better production design than the "typical" German movie feels.

Yes, this movie is not very original and has some minor flaws. However, as the first serious German film outside the boring history drama genre in years (the last one was HELL if I remember correctly), I can ignore them. I really hope this film is a door opener for more well-produced German films in the future which might even become international hits. Something, the Swedish and french cinema already achieved.

Unusual German movie, very entertaining

[maximenigma · 7/10 · 28 October 2014]

Even though I live in Germany, it's been years since I have watched a German movie. The local cinema and made-for-TV movie market is saturated by cheaply produced romcoms and documentary-style WW2-movies. 'Who Am I' caught my attention with its very different theme. And it turned out being a very enjoyable watch. The first interrogation theme felt a bit overacted and over-directed to me and made me worry if they would try to hard to be "cool and different", but luckily the movie quickly found a good pace and well-balanced direction. It moves at a fast pace, with quite some jumps forth and back in time, but the director keeps it well structured, so that the audience doesn't get lost in the twists and turns. The visual effects are very well done, I especially liked the visuals of the 'dark net', depicting the online interaction between hackers as scenes in an underground train. There are some minor plot holes, and I found myself able to guess some things which would happen next, but the end of the movie will manage to surprise most viewers (now, how often can you say that any more?), and the fast pace and compelling characters (throughout well acted) will keep you hooked. This isn't a groundbreaking movie, but I see good potential for it to draw the attention of an international audience, which hopefully will lead to some more German movies in he near future who also dare to address unusual themes.

Good German genre movie

[kosmasp · 7/10 · 8 April 2015]

It's not often that you get a genre movie in Germany. And even less times the result is any good. Fortunately they did get it this time. The lead actor has not the strength to pull it off completely (if you have watched a lot of thrillers, you know where this is heading and it makes no sense at all, even with explanations). But overall the acting is more than fine by the whole cast.

Making a thriller out of hacking is not an easy task. But visually the movie did find a way to give us an in to chat rooms (hidden and otherwise), with a very clever trick. It wouldn't be the same just seeing people type things on a keyboard. There are other things that work out nicely too. I was pleasantly surprised, even if I felt that the movie tried to be a bit too clever for its own good at the end. Give us more of that please

"First: no system is safe. Second: Aim for the impossible. Third: Have fun in cyberspace and meat space."

[Bored_Dragon · 8/10 · 6 April 2019]

"Who Am I" is a German cyber-crime mindfak thriller whose story I can not go into too much because of the risk of spoilers. The film is technically competent, the acting is good, the tempo and music will drive you and keep your attention without a problem. The story itself seems to be a classic seven, but multiple plot-twists at the very end have thrilled me. Through film permeate almost unnoticeable homages to a cult 'Fight Club', that will, if you notice them, lead you to assume the outcome of this story. You will guess wrong. Only before the very end I finally understood some seemingly insignificant details and solved the puzzle... again wrong. Now, after the second viewing, I'm not so enthusiastic as I was the first time, which is expected for mindfak based on the unexpected twists and turns, but far from that I was bored and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The most sincere recommendation.

Germany can be cool

[PaxtonMalloy · 7/10 · 28 September 2014]

I am German but usually I don't like most of the German movies. To slow, to toned down no emphasis on score, lack of creativity. And then I saw the trailer for Who am I. I went to the movie theater fixed to hate it. But I didn't. Because aside from the movie taking place in Germany and having German actors it comes across like a Hollywood movie.

First the cast. Tom Schilling delivers a really good performance as the outsider, shy, invisible for everybody. - Elyas M'Barek, well he does what he can, he is being the cool guy with some cool lines but thats about it. - Wotan Wilke Möhring is always great no exception this time. Bulked up, tattooed all over, very funny even though he has not that many lines. - Antoine Monot Jr. also very funny. - Trine Dyrholm very believable in her role, achieving very much with very little - Hannah Herzsprung sadly is terrible in this movie. She just doesn't fit in that role

Why is that movie good? Welll it has all the components. 1)A good script not outstanding but good. 2)Some good actors 3)a very cool soundtrack. You have this recurring theme you also hear in the trailer. And another theme that to be honest is very very similar to one from the dark knight. Still good. :-) And its not often that you remember a score of German movie. 4)Visuel effects and camera - camera: some really nice pans, tilts etc. 5) visual effects: benjamin takes ritalin and that is kind of like the movie is constructed. you have this wild parties, with slow motions and the electronic music underlining the whole "never-sleep-always-in-action" theme. Especially the "chatrooms" shown as a subway wagon where the hackers come together, great visual

I heard someone who didn't like the movie saying that after the movie there is nothing you think about for maybe one or two day. Well thats something you shouldn't expect from this movie. This is not a movie saying people watch what you do surfing through the net. Its not like enemy of the state. Its about hackers. And not even that. Its an action thriller and sometimes a drama. About a boy trying to make in impact in the world trying to get recognized. Its a popcorn movie. And of course there a better ones but if you look at the German movie market you won't find a better one. Finally we can be cool. :-)

Great cyber thriller

[abisio · 8/10 · 26 April 2015]

Understanding hackers work requires high technical expertise; and their reasons are rarely clear. It could be economic profit, idealistic rebellion against society, egomaniac superiority or plain sadism. In any case; it is not easy to it is difficult to portrait real hackers in movies. BLACKHAT is recent failure but this German thriller really gets the point a offer an interesting enigma sometimes quite unpredictable and never boring. It is better to know little about what happens in order to enjoy the full mystery. Let's say that the movie starts with Benjamin, being debriefed by an EuroPol agent about his and other groups hacking activities. The high point of the movie is showing how difficult is to hack and where are the weakest points in every kind of security.

As interesting as the movie becomes; it is important to note that it is not a Hollywood movie. Not car crashes and very realistic action scenes.

Flawed, but entertaining

[Horst_In_Translation · 6/10 · 27 October 2014]

"Who Am I - Kein System ist sicher" is the newest film by Swiss writer/director Baran bo Odar. It is his 3rd movie and there is a 4-year-gap between this and his last one just like between his second and first film. The cast includes some of Germany's most notable actors these days. The lead character is played well by Tom Schilling. Elyas M'Barek plays pretty much the same character that he always does, namely a chaotic cool guy admired by women. Möhring's character is similar, only his role is smaller and finally Antoine Monot Jr. also has not too much meat to his role, but does a lot with what he is given. One of the two central female characters is Hannah Herzsprung, who (as the love interest to the main character) is actually better than usual in that cheesy romcoms or dramas she is in. Can't say I'd be particularly interested in her physically, which always makes it difficult to really dig a love interest character. She also poses one of the biggest plot holes here in terms of the script. We see her fooling around with M'Barek's character at some point and at the end we are supposed to believe that all is good when she is on the ship with the guys and probably only wants Schilling's character? Another plothole involves the character of Tryne Dyrholm, who gives a decent performance as a mixture of friend/antagonist (just like M'Barek's character) as well. Everything that happens near the end is based on the assumption that she would just let him go, which by no means could have been predicted was a safe bet. Generally, the film suffered a bit near the end from trying to be a bit too smart for its own good. It could very well have done with one plot twist less. Then there is the usual problems with thrillers. Why do investigators always have to run upfront with no safety at all with the well-protected police forces following behind? Because they are one of the central characters of the movie? Not good enough.

One of the highlights were probably the online world sequences which were depicted very smartly and helped the audience understand the subject a bit better even if they knew nothing about hacking. All in all, it is a decent movie with some weaknesses like mentioned before or the randomly thrown-in superhero references, but all in all worth a watch if you are interested in German cinema. If you enjoyed, you could also take a look at Hans-Christian Schmid's 1998 similarly-themed film "23" starring a very young August Diehl.

Subversive & Stylish Hacker Thriller In Vein Of Weingartner

[meddlecore · 8/10 · 7 September 2014]

"Who Am I: No System Is Safe" is the sophomore feature from up and coming German director Baran bo Odar - who gained recognition after his first feature film- "The Silence"- led critics to name him as a "Director to Watch Out For" in 2011.

WHOAMI is the digital alias of a young but talented hacker named Benjamin Engel. Ben is a nobody in real life- just another freak who goes unnoticed by the world. However, as soon as he logs in online, he fancies himself a sort of superhero.

After teaching himself to code at the age of 14, Ben began to wander into the "Darknet"...where all the "Big Players" of the hacking realm were known to dwell. Here he found himself becoming especially influenced by a fellow hacker named MRX.

MRX had developed a 3-fold manifesto, which was embraced by the hacking world:

1) No System Is Safe. 2) Aim for the Impossible. 3) Enjoy the meat world as much as the net world.

He was the "somebody" Ben was striving to become.

Everything changes for Ben after a happenstance meeting with an outgoing "script kiddie" named Max- who is better at hacking people than he is the internet. The two had met during community service- which Ben was serving for hacking into a University server from which he was trying to steal exam questions for his childhood obsession, Marie. The two young men quickly realize they have similar ambitions and become friends with one another.

Max introduces Ben to Stephan- a software wiz- and Paul- a master of hardware. Ben's specialty is machine code...and together the four consider themselves a force to be reckoned with. They inevitably team up to create CLAY (Clowns Laughing At You)- an activist oriented hacker collective that quickly become renown for pulling off stunts akin to Yippies and the Yes Men- in an attempt to gain global recognition and prove that they too can be one of the "Big Players".

Their drive shifts, though, when a hacker named Krypton is found murdered. Word on the Darknet is that FR1ENDS- one of the "Big Players" who are known to be a group of hackers employed by the Russian Mafia- had killed Krypton because he was an informant for the feds.

The CLAY crew are incredibly disturbed by these revelations, while still trying to win the admonition of their hacking idol- MRX. This encourages them to focus on two actions: to discover the identity of MRX and actively work to stop FR1ENDS. Little do they know, this will all culminate into one massive hack that is more "social engineering", than it is limited to computer hacking.

Will Ben and CLAY be able to play all sides against each other, achieve their goals, and escape scot-free? That's the plan. But a double twist at the end will keep you guessing.

Story-wise "Who Am I" has a tone similar to that of other anarchy oriented films from Germany, like "What To Do In Case of Fire" or Hans Weingartner's "Free Rainer" and "The Edukators"; plot-wise it is reminiscent of 90's crime gem "Fresh"; while, stylistically one can detect the influence of Jeunet and Caro films, like "Amelie". Be sure to keep an eye out for the Fight Club mise-en-scene foreshadowing ruse too.

With great style, a lot of subtle details (you may miss the first time around), and an intriguing soundtrack, Odar has managed to bring us a film that is mysterious, exciting, and thought provoking. It will certainly command your attention from start to finish. Hackers and other revolutionary-minded individuals will particularly enjoy it. Recommended.

7.5 out of 10.

A Self Devouring Serpent...

[Xstal · 5/10 · 4 August 2020]

... who upon discovering the error of its ways cuts itself into quarters and glues itself back together. As improbable as that sounds the makers of this hacker film want you to believe it's possible.

A bland movie with a lack of identity

[alex_with_a_P · 2/10 · 26 July 2022]

This movie is a mashup of several movies, most notably Fight Club, the only problem is that this movie never amounts to nothing. There's nothing wrong with mixing up several inspirations and doing it's own thing, but this felt like a Frankenstein monster of clips from movies you have already seen but with worse dialogue, cinematography and actors.

Hacking in movies has always been depicted very cheesy, and it's admittedly hard to make this exciting. THis one is no different, it even goes so far to depict them as outlandish as cool guys in a Porsche doing drugs and orgies with girls. The glorifiying and fictionalizing is not even the lasziest part.

This movie tries too hard to be cool, and all the characters are hollow as a consequence. Everyone has the same voice, none of the characters are more than a cliché. His love interest is literally all that, she exists only to please the protagonist with no own goals. Max is a character which you have seen in a million movies, but this version doesn't even try to distinguish itself from the archetype. The dialogue is hammy and tries to be funny like Bang Boom Bang, again none of it feels really honest, you simply don't care. And if you don't care about the characters you can throw as many twists in the there as you want, it will only garner a shrug.

A complete waste of time.

Great Hacker movie

[twentyhonor · 9/10 · 13 October 2014]

German movies are not often comparable to the international standard, but in the last 2 years the trend goes bottom-up.

The movie gains us an insight into the life of young hackers and their ambitions. Thy visualization of the meetings in the web with other hackers are very good pictured.

The plot of who Am I is very complex. At the beginning it doesn't look so deep, but while it comes to conclusion the movie shows us his high-class.

The actors with a authentic Tom Schilling and the affected Elyas M'Barek are also properly elected. The characters are very different, what creates varied dialogs. All in all Who am i is a must-see for all Germans and a very good movie for international thriller fans.

There holes in this story as big as the Death Star!

[fx-23112 · 4/10 · 18 March 2018]

That film tries too hard to be cool but it really isn't. The script is full of childish taglines and moreover there is an exaggeration on everything as also most of the cliches someone could expect to find in a film about hacking. It would make more sense tf it was produced on 90s but for 2014 is a film behind it's time.

GREAT film - from an expat

[johnbettiol · 9/10 · 19 October 2014]

My German is somewhat average, and yet, I try to watch a German film now and again so that my wife gets a chance to see something in her native tongue (and I get to have a bit of practice).

I have to say that this film was an enjoyable watch.

I felt that the film has a far better interpretation of technical topics than both Sneakers and Hackers.

The thing I liked most about this film was that the choice of actors was complementary to the script and everything seemed to gel together to make a believable experience.

Great acting and storyline, enjoyable until the very end!

Watch it!

PS: For a geek-in-the-know, there are always cringe-worthy moments, but this film kept it to a minimum!

In the heart of the hacking world.

[deloudelouvain · 6/10 · 9 May 2016]

Welcome to the cyber crime reality. Even for a guy likes me that doesn't get anything about hacking it's interesting to watch and not too difficult to understand. No system is safe is the truth, everything is hackable. Even if we think everything is secured you just need a couple of computer nerds to bring the whole system down. I would not call this movie a thriller, just a cyber crime movie. The actors did a good job and the filming was pleasant to watch as well. The end was a bit confusing and far fetched and was not really necessary to me but all in all it's an entertaining movie to watch. Not that I will watch it again. That's only reserved for the excellent movies.

Surprisingly witty and intense hacker-related action

[BeneCumb · 8/10 · 16 February 2016]

As I am not familiar with and interested in special technology, including hardware and software, I usually avoid related creations as they tend to include a lot of sophisticated terms and activities, but - from time to time - everybody needs some diversity, plus I heard some good stuff about this film.

And Who Am I - Kein System ist sicher caught my attention and admiration from the beginning - fast and intensive plot (but not too "flashing"), very good (Tom Schilling as Benjamin and Trine Dyrholm as Hanne Lindberg) and good (the rest) performances, skillful cinematography and directing, witty flashbacks and multiple solutions... At first, the inclusion of Marie's character seemed somewhat excessive, but eventually all the pieces fell into place and the result is a solid film recommended to fond of (getting to know about) modern threats and vulnerabilities.

And Schilling is a fine actor - based on 3 films I have seen with his participation. He could definitely have wider international employment and recognition.

Germany can make movies too

[Dev1999 · 7 March 2016]

I am German. So I know Germany doesn't really make a whole lot of good or just even watchable films. Well but this sure is a watchable movie.

I have seen the movie back in 2014 when it came to the cinemas here and I was blown away by it. I've never really seen such a great film made by a German movie studio. And it's not only good for a German movie. It's good overall.

Hacker movies often are boring and not well made. Here that is not the case. Hacking is showed how it is really done and it makes sense and does not look silly. The action is well done and everything is well acted. The cast is interesting and all characters are different from each other. That makes for an amazing ride that you can't take your eyes off.

The end of this movie is really Christopher Nolan like and you don't know what the HACK you've just seen. I love it so much.

You can go see this movie more than just once, you can easily see if like five or six times in my opinion. So have fun and give this a chance.

Grossly overrated

[Habus · 3/10 · 9 June 2016]

Normally I'd give 5 out of 10, because the movie was somewhat entertaining. But I'm giving 3/10, just for the sake of lowering the confusing rating 7.6, since this movie has nothing to do in such heights. Who Am I rips off from every major movie in the genre. Some were already mentioned, I can name 3 right from the start: Fight Club, Usual Suspects and Swordfish. There were also another words stuck in my head after the credits started to roll: Cliché, cheesy and unoriginal. How come that so many film makers have this picture of a hacker, who MUST wear a hoodie with its hood on while "hacking"? Is that some kind of metaphor for somebody, who doesn't want to be seen? Well so be it, but this movie isn't a poem, it's obviously trying to be some sort of entertaining hacker movie with a "believable" view inside the h4x0r scene. And it fails miserably. The members of the "CLAY" group are so cheesy and simply superficial it hurts. The romance between the main character and a random college girl is dull, empty and doesn't fit in the whole story. And the execution of some of the hacking activities is laughable as it's technically not possible. But after all, I remained seated and watched it through, because as stated, it bared some sort of entertainment and I wanted to see where it's going to land. And it landed in my drawer named "Never see again".

Take a break from whatever you are doing, Watch this movie now.

[MplusA92 · 9/10 · 19 November 2017]

It's beautiful how internet globalized our movies' experience, Which made beautiful movies like this one watchable worldwide instead of being trapped in its origin country, and it tells people that there are another developed movie industry other than Hollywood.

What i really liked about the movie-which i also didn't like once i played it- that it start with backward events sequence that showed the "sad" finale,but fortunately you will be surprised with the real finale.

This is a type of a movie that you can't move your eyes away while you are watching it, you will get involved with the ups and downs in the events, you may even support the characters although what they are doing is ethically questionable.

The cast fit perfectly with their characters, the scenario and dialogue were straight to the point with no extra encrypted "hacker- terms" which usually filled in those type of movies, it simplify the idea of hacker to hacker relationship without getting involved into the details.

It's a clean movies for families with zero nudity "finally".

Finally, if you want a rush of adrenaline, or if you are a thriller movies addict or even amateur then this movie is for you.

Cheap movie with childish script

[JurijFedorov · 4/10 · 1 January 2022]

Another movie that feels like something a bunch of teenagers wrote in a week. It makes no sense.

So it's a hacking movie and I read a few reviews about it being "the most realistic hacker movie". Well, not quite. It's actually total nonsense in relation to programming and hacking. When they are in the dark web we see them in a fictional train wagon to illustrate this. The hacking they do is also just nonsense. In one scene they go into a far-right event and "hack" their system. Well, in reality they just replace their video file with a cartoon where dogs hump Hitler. That's obviously not hacking and this is how all their "hacking" works. In another scene they try to get into Interpol for a really long time. Then finally the lead says he lost a wallet to get in and then plants a device under a table to hack the system. So basically they could pay someone to plant it there? Or just throw it in a bush near the window? It's all cringe and fake.

There are also multiple scenes you'd see in 90's Hollywood movies. A car scene where the friends scream and shout while waving their hands in the air. A scene where a "cool guy" teaches a nerd how to flirt with hot chicks in a supermarket. Several party and nightclub scenes where they scream and flirt with chicks. There is even a scene where the cool guy kisses with the lead's girl, but she never once mentions it. Did it happen? Who knows or cares? Also, these guys are programmers yet often act like jocks. The lead is never doing anything. He's just standing around even when people speak to him which makes for some really boring scenes. All those chicks scenes are extremely cringe. He also makes stupid decisions like giving away info on people who betrayed a Russian state hacker club. Meaning that a traitor guy is, of course, killed by the Russians. And overall it's just a bunch of scenes one after another. It doesn't feel like a single plot.

The plot is also directly stolen from Unusual Suspects with stupid twists added on. So you feel like you are watching old plots and scenes in a cheap movie. I really disliked it. This is German filmmaking at its worst.

Excellent, creative, stylish, and quite entertaining... Rewatchability: Very High Blu-ray: Very Sharp A:10 V:10

[lathe-of-heaven · 8/10 · 10 June 2015]

It seems like it's been a while since I have seen a good Hacker movie. The original 'HACKERS' has always been a favourite of mine (despite the cringe-worthy and very dated technology of the time) And, even the 2nd one, although not as well known, was entertaining. So, it was nice to watch this lively German film about Hacking.

And, what a story indeed... I want to be careful, because a number of the stronger points of the film are most DEFINITELY Spoilers, so we won't go there, I promise. But, suffice to say that the movie is made quite well and the way it is put together, written, and acted fits in nicely with the overall theme and tone of the film.

Another thing that is somewhat refreshing and I think a good choice in this movie is that they don't focus overly much on the actual Hacking, trying to make it look oh-so-cool. It is of course an integral part of the film, but the emphasis is mostly on the story itself, which you will appreciate even more so by the time you finish the movie : )

I haven't watched a lot of German films, so I'm certainly no expert as far as they go. I think the last one I saw and I liked it very much was the Medical Horror Thriller 'ANATOMIE' But, I honestly fully enjoyed this movie and found it most entertaining, and the added 'twists' make it much more than you may expect. I most certainly DON'T want to name any similar films because that would definitely give too much away. THANKFULLY the reviews and summaries that I have seen so far here have wisely NOT stupidly mentioned them, as many times they will, and then I have to find them, hunt them down, torture them, and slowly kill their families... Anyway, towards the end of the film, when you begin to realize what's going on (so far) there IS a VERY brief, slight visual clue, in a way. I'm afraid that you will just have to watch the movie and look for it...

So, if you are not German speaking and if you do not mind reading subtitles and if you like a good, clever Hacker-based Thriller, then I see no reason why you shouldn't really enjoy this film.

Energetic German techno-thriller

[Red-Barracuda · 7/10 · 21 June 2015]

In this stylised German cyber thriller a socially awkward young hacker gets involved with other like-minded technophiles and together they form a group dedicated to high profile system breaches. When they decide to hack into the German Secret Service, things start to go wrong. We begin the story with the hacker being questioned by a Europol agent and from here we go back and forth in time to see how he got here.

Films based around computer-based stories are not the easiest to make very cinematic but Who Am I works out a way to do so. In the film's most distinctive and creative scenes we are shown a visualisation of a virtual world known as the dark net, a place in cyberspace where all of the leading hackers meet up. It is shown here in a physical way by way of masked characters interacting on a subway train. It's a nicely, slightly surreal, and very creative way to depict this and shows some real creativity on the part of the film-makers. There is a good energy about this one, with a fast-paced story and energetic electro soundtrack complimenting it. Its material that has the potential to be quite dry and unexciting but which has instead been skilfully brought to screen in a very engaging manner. The icing on the cake is a very good and surprising ending that is audacious but makes good sense given what has gone before.

Non-Put-Down-Able

[hedrummond · 10/10 · 6 March 2021]

Honestly, for a film that is in a foreign language, meaning it is heavy in the subtitle department, and very, very wordy - I started watching this at 3 minutes to midnight and was just going to watch maybe ten minutes and then stop - I found that I just could not take my eyes off of the screen. It was so well done. It was also, very exciting and literate and smart. It had all of the attributes of what a classic suspense film should have. That's all I'm going to say. It was fantastic.

Completely Caught Me.

[Signet · 9/10 · 22 March 2021]

I was wholly ensnared by this film. It was done with humor, style, and obviously a lot of fun for all concerned. I can't say much more or I might reveal too much. All I can say is, Watch it. You'll love it!

Best German Film so Far.

[andrewchristianjr · 8/10 · 15 August 2019]

Easily the best German film outside the boring drama genre in years. Feels like "Fight Club" (the reference is in the film). I loved the train metaphor for the virtual space, and don't forget the mind blowing in the end lol. Well done.
