Authentic in a way...
This movie has many powerful characters who really live their roles. It is not one of those German productions where you get the feeling that the actors are forced into the characters. The acting is very natural and thus convincing which adds to the authenticity of the story. It is a story taken from the real life, you can feel that. It is not made up by some people and than mixed together to suit a certain target group. Watch it if you can!
good movie
I've seen the movie, and I have to say it's really great. But in the movie there are some mistakes: First there is no "Autobahnraststaette Neumuenster" and second in the jail in Neumuenster one of the prison attendant has the wrong coat of arms on his uniform, it shows the coat of arms of Lower Saxony instead of the coat of arms of Schleswig-Holstein.
A realistic study of a young "small size" criminal in Germany. Narrated in episodes and with great action style camera!
The film shows the live of Ertan Ongun a "small size" criminal living in Kiel/Germany. Ertan deals with drugs and makes small burglaries etc.
At the beginning of the film one of his friends is shot down. The story shows the way downwards of young men without a real perspective who present themselves as fairly tough and cool. The film is narrated in episodes. A fast action camera highlights the atmosphere of a fast and broken life. The story includes a good portion of self ironic humour. Comparable to Pulp fiction

Oh, this movie is really bad
I've seen this movie in a Sneak PreView, and i stayed in cinema only because i don't want to waste money. This movie has no continuity, and there's no critical statement about the crime shown in this movie. Prejudices are shown all the time in this movie, and it's really boring to see drug dealers and others acting like real idiots. The police catches them more than once in this movie, and they have done much before the action in this movie, but they were never in the prison. This movie is much worser than my English is.
Classic!
One of the unforgettable cult-movies of my teenage years. Probably the only German one. Not very known to my knowledge, but my friends and me loved it growing up and still do. It was this and Menace II Society filling our heads with all the wrong role models.
This German gangster flick offers a great overall sense of style, exciting characters and an unbelievable amount of quotables. I can literally quote the whole movie while watching it.
Great soundtrack too, besides the out of place backpack rap songs - German gangster rap wasn't a thing, when this movie was released. There are some plotholes, probably due to the messy postproduction and editing process. Still highly recommend.
