| User ReviewJoerg Vthis film caught my senses from the first minute on. highly recommended. and a good, realistic retrospection back into the 1980s. |
| User ReviewAlex Pthis is one of the best german movies i've ever seen!!! |
| User ReviewJohn PVery much enjoyed this - the sense of mystery and suspense was only added to by the fact that there were no subtitles so I didn't understand about 1/4 of it. |
| User ReviewColin CThis movie is many times better than the americanized "The Number 23" remake. This movie is a great mind fuck and will keep you on the edge of your seat and hooked! |
