One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Inconsistent story line, way too long, camera shots that last forever, mute characters, scenes that have nothing to do with the story, etc. E.g. why do we have to watch the protagonist practicing his martial arts moves? Especially when it's a bad move like when he teaches his girlfriend to defend herself from being choked. I hope no female viewer will memorize that move, because it will not work at all but even put her in greater danger.

A typical poor German movie, I have seen many of this kind. Heavy stuff, always trying to explain the world to us, and/or trying to educate the audience when it is not called for.

The story could have been told in 90 minutes (max). But it drags on and on and on.

But the worst is the sound, there is a constant background noise. The sound editor should be put in jail for this masterpiece, at least he should not edit another movie.

What a waste of time and money.

I think it's a boring movie, and it's not even funny. It's about a couple of lefties getting detained in Chile under the Pinochet regime, although the country seems to be fictitious. The movie is dedicated to all people who disappeared under Pinochet. (It's estimated about 3,000 people. To put it into perspective: In Argentina disappeared 30,000 during the military dictatorship)

The actors are bad, and I pity Harvey Keitel, this movie means a low point in his career. The story is boring, not much drama at all, the message to the audience remains fuzzy. To put it in a nutshell: A lousy movie.
