Director: Tomasz Thomson Year: 2010 Language: German (English Sub) Country: Germany

This darkly comic gangster caper is not really what I expected, but then I went into it not knowing very much. The plot centres around rubbish hitman Walter who takes a job as hired muscle for a mysterious gang boss. The job involves him staying in a massive house in the middle of nowhere in the dead of winter. He arrives to find an associate of his, Micky, is also on the job, together the pair manage to bungle everything they touch.

The comedy comes from the situation the pair find themselves in and their ineptitude which leads them into trouble a few times. The bleak winter setting of the film makes for interesting viewing and a claustrophobic feel knowing that the pair can't easily leave the situations they find themselves in.

Well made and worth seeing.
