Wir waren Könige (2014)
Not a usual German crime movie
I was able to watch this film before release on a sneak preview in a local cinema. Usually I am not a great fan of German crime movies, but this film was different. The tension was high and I was thrilled throughout the whole movie until its end. The main difference to a normal crime movie is, that the ending was unsatisfying, and this is remarkable. Normally German crime movies tend to finish with solving the crime by the police and even if you don't have a black and white scheme (good cops, bad gangsters) one of the police officers isn't corrupt and will solve the crime on its own.
After the movie has finished I still was thinking about it. I've not seen many movies, which made me think about it and the behavior of its main characters.
If you like this kind of crime movies, give it a try, you won't regret it.
