First I should let you know that this

First I should let you know that this film covers very dark subject matter. But if you have the stomach to tolerate this kind of thing, then I believe it is a good piece. If you're not paying careful attention to the film, then it's easy for the story to become convoluted. Essentially it's a tale of human injustice, and how an esteemed professional must decide whether to violate ethical code. While the movie can be a little far-fetched at times, it's entertaining in its own right. At least it's willing to address some of the issues that plague Us in modern society.

Abgeschnitten ist ein deutscher Thriller von Christian Alvart

Abgeschnitten ist ein deutscher Thriller von Christian Alvart. Der Film basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman, den Sebastian Fitzek mit dem Rechtsmediziner Michael Tsokos verfasste. Ein dichgedränkte Geschichte, um einen Serientäter, die undurchdringlich erscheinen mag. Aber nach der Art von Sebastian Fitzek lösen sich die Knoten im letzten Drittel wie von selbst. Die Handlung läuft wie eine "Schnitzeljagd" ab, in der das Publikum immer einige Schritte voraus ist. Ein hervorragender Film mit dem Hauptmotiv "Rache" und wie wir damit umgehen.

Although there has never been a shortage of

Although there has never been a shortage of uneven films, I can only recall one other movie that is this lopsided (Mute Witness). I would have enjoyed this movie so much more if it just picked a mood and stayed with it. Due to the total implausibility of the story and the way it develops, this would have worked so much better as pulp. But instead, this director seems to have been really hellbent on juggling themes, moods, motives… it’s just a tonal disaster. I mean seriously, how can you go from a truly brutal portrayal of sexual assault, obviously aiming to capture the realism of such heinous acts, to literally one scene later, in a matter of seconds, jokes that are plainly winking at the audience? Just odd. Really baffling. This is where the “Mute Witness” comparison is most apt. Both films really want to be these brutal, unflinching looks at the most hideous of human behaviors, but for some reason (just beyond me) also want to have this goofy comedic timing, with punchlines and all. It’s truly a 50/50 film. But all slapped together. One second we’re being presented with the ugliest territories of realism, then, in the matter of 1-2 cuts, characters playing jokes on one another. I mean, the acting is fine, and the film looks good. But I just can’t wrap my head around how a film like this passes through so many hands and turns out like this. I’m all for cinema being free to examine all aspects of the human experience, but this movie should be a case study in why it’s important to handle heavy material delicately, as to not consistently undermine any emotional investment the viewer is meant to hold. If you can get over the fact that the story is completely ludicrous, and handles really heavy, dark subject matters like a teenage boy, then the pulpy narrative is actually kinda fun… in a puzzle sort of way. I was truly ready to forgive it for the implausibility and enjoy the ride, much like I would a good trashy novel… but the tonal shifts are just amateurish and should never have passed as a final cut
