A film in similar quality other Hollywood blockbusters but in German style. As this picture results to be a crossover from other benchmarking successes as well as grossing American films , such as : ¨Locke¨ by Steven Knight (2013) with Tom Hardy , "Speed" (1994) directed by Jan de Bont with Keanu Reeves , and "Phone Booth" (2002) by Joel Schumacher with Colin Farrell. This thrilling movie has a lot of action images , including pursuits , car crashes , explosion , and anything else . The plot can not be very realistic ; however, displaying several scenes have you on the edge of your seat . The picture increases the relentless tension as well as the flick progresses on screen . Thrilling and nail-biting film with a lot of scenes of drama, tension , emotion and action , all of them at equal parts . This is including an unexpected denouement in its final part . The picture is decent enough , though uneven, as developing mostly into the car, it has a lot of turns; but not very original, it is a simple and inferior remake. However , being very entertaining for its continuous suspense . The entertaining premise is overspread across the movie adding some brief conventional pitfalls .In this remake of the Spanish film " El Desconocido (The Unknown)", Wotan Wilke plays decently a banker living in Berlin who receives a phone call while taking his children to school, as a mysterious voice tells him that the car is loaded with explosives that will detonate unless he does what it says.Germany's ¨Steig.

The good intentions are obvious . The effort of Wotan Wilke Mohring is impresive. The film has few great moments . But... . Far to be bad, it has few huge sins. Against the story, it is not convincing. Second, it seems be only a strident moral lesson. Not the last, you feel the end becoming predictable. And, sure, one more problem- it is too, too long. The last seems be the basic sin.
