Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Bene Cumb This film could be roughly divided into 2 halves: 1st, with 3 main characters, is more dynamic, 2nd, with 4 main characters, is more static; the 1st means more action, the 2nd - more reasoning. Both are skilfully created and accomplished, but the 3 young people among themselves seemed more interesting and realistic to me than 3 young vs 1 older; the latter's reactions were sometimes not so feasible. Luckily, the ending has several twists, so you "forget" that/if you started to scent a trivial round-up.Anyway, all performances were good and distinct, perhaps Daniel Brühl's character was more versatile, with more presence on screen (or he is just more famous internationally?).Thus, a recommended film about reality vs. idealism, empathy vs. conformism, and other topics giving food for thought. And I began to yearn for their hippie Volkswagen bus again... :)

vulespam This awful movie gives us the picture of the making of some wannabe-world-changers. After breaking in a house, they only change the decoration and the places of the furniture. People who are persuaded by this wonderful acts, raise your hands.A kidnapped businessman begins to love their work and it seems like he wants to join this everything but intelligent group. Jan and Peter represent critical rebellions, who just can't cope with money and richness.This attack on earning money and working in general, is so naive a child of 3 years wouldn't believe it. By adding a good-looking girl (Julia Jentsch is one of the worst actresses ever) the director tried to have some proponents. Too bad, Hans Weingartner

mulquemi This movie was recommended by a friend who liked Jan in Goodbye Lenin. I was doubtful at first, based solely on the blurbs on the case containing the DVD, but the movie has wonderful acting, camera work, directing,great tension, great plot switches, excellent use of scenery. A surprise and I loved it. Jan is perfectly caste as is the young woman,and the business executive could not be better. The director has done it again. The writing is flawless.How much more can I saw to indicate how much I liked this movie. They three friends are right. Did besten Ideen uberleben and Manche Menschen andern sich nie. Maybe this movie will change the last judgment.

paolo_bf A more intelligent and poignant critique of our Western 'capitalist dictatorship' (the words of our three anti-heroes!), you would not find, not even on the pages of my Brighton anarchist friends' 'The Schnews' (ah, ah!). And this is also a very intelligent, humane and absorbing thriller (for want of a better word, we all express ourselves by clichés, like Peter or Jan would say!) because Hans Weingartner is a consummate and devilishly clever storyteller and after the first few sequences you will forget where you are, and you won't be able to take your eyes off the screen! A must see for old radical firebrands like myself and 'capitalist slaves' (only kidding!) alike!
