Well, what a surprise! A German B Movie and a good one. Whoever thought of that crazy idea to bring to the screen an entertaining B Movie. Supposedly the film was shot on a 800.000 Euro budget - whatever, it is probably a marketing lie, because the film looks more like 5 Million to me. Private Eye Lovelorn has to save the world from an evil and (of course) crazy Egyptian Pharao. Problem is: The P.I. has a split personality. Whenever he chases the bad guy, his other half appears in form of breathtaking beauty EVA HASSMANN as Bebe. She of course falls in love with the dude... To top the cast, the director dug up HORST BUCHHOLZ. He is something, playing a double Noble Prize winner. A chase inside a Pyramid tops the roller coaster of a movie. Total fun and games. Give me more.

Das Urteil
(1997 TV Movie)
A rare gem on todays TV
13 January 2003
DAS URTEIL is a rare gem in todays TV scene. Imagine an (almost) two man show in one setting and that over 90 Minutes - and the viewer is not bored for one second. Of course there is the two excellent actors and a very talented director by the name of Oliver Hirschbiegel. The set is a first class airport lounge and an old jewish booksalesman who is stranded by accident? No,there is someone behind the accident, but who and why is the old man traped in that scene. Very brave production. It takes some balls for the producer to choose such a script. Great entertainment. A must for anyone who likes to escape the mindless German TV Scene. 10 out of 10!
Zimmer der Angst
(2002 TV Movie)
a better German TV Movie
10 January 2003
Zimmer der Angst is a small surprise and sticks out of the so many films on TV we have here in Germany. An original script with good dialogs. The setting is dark and morbid and thus fits in the story. The actors are a positive surprise and we an hope to see more of Benjamin Sadler. Overall the film is very suspenseful and the end has an American quality in its set up. Loads of talent here.
