The Interrupters (2011)
Good but too long
Very interesting topic and well executed but way too long. I am sure they recorded many more stories as interesting as these that are included but the filmmaker did not include them because the film should not be too long. In my view editing should go further and cut more scenes to make it 80-90 min movie. It would make this film much stronger keeping the essence and prevent viewers from checking their watches. What we get is diluted story and sometimes boring as some scenes are redundant in their message or information. Better editing making this film much shorter would make it much more interesting without scarifying the importance of the story. Overall it is important and interesting documentary.
Lies and Deception (2005)
Badly acted boring and predictable script
Bad acting (except Mädchen Amick, who is OK), awful dialogs, poor plot but could pass if not the dialogs and acting. Predictable and boring plot. I can go on and on with negativity. Just awful. The first 10 minutes is interesting and intriguing although poor acting is obvious almost from the beginning. Police finds dead men whose wife thought that he had died in boating accident five years ago. There were so many ways to keep the film interesting. I do not think that even good acting could save the film unless somebody would rewrite the script. The rest of the 90 minutes I consider as a wasted time. You can check if you have the same taste but I warned you.
Der Tunnel (2001)
Good movie but ruined by unnecessary hollywood-type-action-last-second-rescue ending
I do not understand why a good movie had to be ruined by this action packed type ending. It would be much better without the chase in the tunnel. The tension could be there without it, for example near discoveries by german soldiers would be enough to pump the adrenaline for those who need it.
