Too bad I cannot give a score below zero for this movie
filmcriticman12 July 2003
Every few years the German and Austrian movie industry produces a good movie - this is not one of them. All throughout the movie I did not know if I should laugh or cry. At best, it is a horrible waste of celluloid. No story line and poor acting, not to mention the sad, sad, editing and directing. All it took was too plastic guns and a video recorder, and the short film is not even worth this much. Unfortunately all this turned out to be is senseless violence, that would not even appeal to the action movie crowd. No point made and no moral given. This movie I will make one of the prime examples that I will show my students to explain how film-making is NOT to be done. It lacks all but one of the components of good film-making: The leading actress. She had to fulfill the sad task of being in this movie. If she will ever make it big, this film will always haunt her as it must already haunt the producer and the poor significant few, who watched it.

An extraordinary TV experience
max-rupert25 November 2004
Hope, love, and life in a bizarre dying world, is being boldly displayed in a impressing people-study. The film is free of moral drama. The viewer may be offended by the liberal display of personal truths, which in the end will not be morally justified. One defiance. This is European Cinema. Problem and solution are not going to be delivered. This is the true story of two spree killers who shot people from a rooftop. Nevertheless, their act is not being judged. This film is trying to understand the depths of such people. One will wait in vain for the evil laughter of the villain. "Nobody is born evil" is heard throughout Hannes Fretzer's moving, critical film. The path to becoming a spree killer develops in the mind of the audience. An extraordinary TV experience.
