Psychological thriller
3 October 2017
Berlin Syndrome is a psychological thriller. The location is Berlin as the title shows. So there is a bit of German language but not that much. The movie tells the story of a freak that actually looks perfectly normal and that what makes it creepy, a guy that holds an Australian tourist hostage in his remote apartment. A story like this would be very surprising fifty years ago but now we got already multiple examples in real life of such kind of deranged people. So it wasn't a big surprise or something new. Nevertheless the story might start slow, the rest of the movie is full of suspense. The suspense is mostly psychological bit it definitely works. The acting is good, and that from the whole cast. Maybe it could have had a bit more action, but than again I don't think it was very necessary. I didn't get bored at all and I'm sure you won't be either.
