Two robbers hold up a Düsseldorf bank, demanding millions of marks in exchange for their hostages. What the police don’t know is these crooks have an accomplice on the outside: a criminal mastermind perched in a nearby high rise, orchestrating the action through his rifle scope and walkie-talkie. But what the bank robbers don’t know is their boss has an accomplice of his own. Undersung auteur Domink Graf’s gripping heist movie keeps you guessing with an intricate web of twists and double-crosses. “Nail-biting genre cinema at its most taut and muscular… the combination of reckless energy and narrative cunning elevates the pulse and exercises the mind” (Mubi).
