a little master-piece of TV-entertainment

I was really surprised, when i saw this movie on TV. very very seldom you find something like this when you switch on the picture-box. The story begins with a young couple finding shelter from the rain in a little bar in the out-skirts of munich. then the killing starts. As you now can see it isn't the story what makes the movie so special. It's greatness lays in the face that first its very minimalist. All the action takes place in one street and you have real relations among the suspects, not just the jealousy bullshit they usually give you. And secondly it has really good camera-work and all. So for once you have a TV-detective with something like atmosphere and style. So if you not only like action-detectives but also clever and calmly told detective stories - go see this if you can!
