Fantastic! But facial intensities not even............

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2009)

This is a great thriller! A thriller I could not say should have been made better. However as much as I liked the acting of the spy hero (Ulrich Mühe) I must say his suspicious character's constant demeanor appeared a little too melodramatic and throughout. Such being to the point where he would have surely raised the suspicions of the East German Police to his ultimate betrayal and at a very early stage during the movie. In a way I am sorry for this critique as I really loved watching this film and that of all the works of the late, great Ulrich Mühe (.. as many may already know, Ulrich Mühe passed away recently after suffering from stomach cancer at the early age of 51).
'Bravo' to the other participating "Das Leben der Anderen" cast and crew. Great job and well done !!
Hollywood certainly must be interested in Sebastian Koch. If not, why not?
