Excellent, but: beware of the German synchronization...

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2006)

That was my favorite of the year! I loved the outstanding performance of all men and the one woman, I loved the relationships between them, the Shakespearean tragedy of fathers who betray their sons, I loved the camera, I loved the story and for all its length I did not want the movie to end. Whoever has the chance to see the movie in the American original version, should do so. The German synchronization is ... well. In order to show how hardboiled the men are, they constantly use obscenities. The original may have some 50 references to the department down below --- which did not bother me, but the German version places those expressions into almost every (male) line. Makes you weary after the first hundreds ore so. And besides, in German those phrases are far more rude than in American (no offense ...)
