Plot

A young woman (Potente) in Berlin, Germany has twenty minutes to find and bring $100,000 to her boyfriend (Bleibtreu) before he robs a grocery store so he can pay off a debt.

Pros

About all I can say without giving away the plot is that this movie is non stop with a very good techno beat in the background (crank up the sound if you can). It definitely gets an 'A' for originality and if you're not observant, you will miss things. This is a movie that you will want to watch more than once. And there's good news for everyone that isn't fluent in German, this is a German movie after all, it is dubbed in English.

Cons

Not enough extras and hopefully you like techno.

Extras

Recommendation

You can't go wrong with this movie. I suspect if it isn't a cult favorite here in the States,it soon will be. Pass the word!
