    Mediocre and too much violence

    Compared to "How to sell drugs online fast" this prequel unfortunately doesn't really deliver. It misses a real story and why all this violence? Dark comedy okay but it's not adding anything and is offturning. Tatortreiniger was so much better.

    Underrated Prequel. Needs a special kind of humor to enjoy though

    If you haven't seen "How to sell drugs online (fast)", watch it first before you go for this nice little prequel. The series is quite amazing and sets the stage for the side character whose somewhat tragic story is told in "Buba".

    Fans of Bjarne Mädel will probably like it. All others should be prepared for some dark humor, but the movie has also a bit of heart.

    The characters are very odd and the story is completely ridiculous, in a good way.

    The movie is full of great performances, and it's visually appealing, with good pace and editing.

    Seems like Netflix does not disappoint when it comes to German productions. Non-Germans may give this one a try, but be sure to use subtitles.

    Sort of German Quinten Tarantino😁

    Loved it.

    Usually (read not often) i do not tend to see movies in other then English or Dutch spoken movies... I liked this one. With the chapters and all it seamed like a Quinten Tarantino movie. Also had a great laugh at hilarious weard situations of this film.

    It deserves the eight i gave. 🙌🏼

    It's nice movie

    Its normal movie with light comedy, but the story is not reliable as some scene not understandable.

    But generally you can watch the movie if you have extra time and nothing to do.

    charming characters, weak second act

    This movie excells at presenting charming trash characters and offers a unique premise and overall presentation that is both depressingly bleak and at the same time very colourful and goofy. Especially the two brothers are wellcasted and played, some smaller roles are lacking though. For a movie like this, I feel like the music could have been more vibrant and attention grabbing. I imagine some punk bands would fit well, which is a rare opportunity for a movie.

    Anyway, the biggest flaw of the movie is the lack of a overall drive/motivation. Yes, technically there is motivation for every scene, but it's just not a lot. The side plot actually has more power than the main plot. This is especially the case in the second act where the movie drags a bit.

    Overall this was a nice experience simply because it was refreshing, but it won't be a movie that is going to reach cult status or any big numbers.
