Die Honigfalle: Eine wahre Geschichte über Liebe, Lügen und das FBI

This story should have been an interesting one, and there is certainly no shortage of angles from which it could have been explored. Unfortunately, this documentary bounces around with no clear motive, first talking about the relationship between Hollywood and global politics, touching briefly on racism toward Muslims in America, and blathering on about a little of this and a little of that without ever getting into the meat of anything.

This film is marketed as being about Daniela Greene and her relationship with Denis Cuspert, but offers absolutely no details about said relationship other than that they "used pet names" occasionally in their messages. Very little information is divulged about anything really, and the viewer is left with more questions than answers, albeit not the thought provoking kind. Inexplicably, there is a scene at the end with a former coworker of Daniela's which leads absolutely nowhere. The transitions between scenes are jarring and stylistically the film feels like an extremely long trailer for a better, more thought out documentary, as it contains just about every stereotypical documentary trope in the book with no substance to back it up.
