CGiii Comment

At a mere 69 minutes...it fails to engage...due to sluggish development and immature writing...really, does a grown man sneak into a bedroom to sniff a sleeping man when his girlfriend is sleeping next door?!?!!?

The camera work is unacceptably sloppy (STOP using the zoom button!!!) and the performances are (at best) lifeless - Engin Sert should reconsider his career...

This could have been shorter (and better) - the editor shows no skill and the director should have told the editor to cut all the padding...too many irrelevant shots of a Berlin sculpture...et al.

A major disappointment...considering the rather favorable reviews it received.
