Can anyone tell me what happens in the end...I didn't really get it... Do Ben and Melody die?Cos they can't really go to a hospital cos they would have to tell the doctors or someone what happened...I always get annoyed when I don't know what'll happen....!!!I found the film very good though...very good actors/actresses...But I didn't get that bondage thing going on between Melody's boss and that woman...?! Well anyway...I liked the love-story between Ben and Melody...it was very sweet...So please can someone answer my question above and tell me what they think happened to them both...I should really stop taking films so serious... Thanks for reading my comment...!

This film is from my country, Germany, and is pure entertainment for people who like film noir mazes, with shifting plots and a grin on its face. My favorite from recent memory, along with Run Lola Run, this one also says something substantial about human values, wrapped up in the smooth film-making of Rainer Kaufman. The game and the style are much fun, but it also has a great love story. The last image of the film of the two [doomed?] lovers is a classic. Watch this film for me!

Interesting film that I think will stand the test of time, or at least be more appreciated as the years pass than it was on its initial release. Lots of flashy camera tricks to go along with the plot twists and killer conclusion. I just looked up the American version someone else mentioned and found out that Hilary Swank [Oscar-winner for "Boys Don't Cry"] is going to star. Wow! That should be something. But this film is well worth your time. Rainer Kaufmann is called the "German Brian DePalma." Now you can see why.

I have rarely seen a film that was so rewarding in many ways, yet so disappointing in many others. It still is worth looking at. Here is what I liked: The plot is quite original and full of surprising twists and turns, crossing and double-crossing. The pace of the whole film is excellent, like you're watching a John Carpenter movie (one of his earlier works, that is...). The finale is a masterpiece. Great camera work, great editing. Lots of images you won't forget. Superb performances by all the supporting actors and actresses. One of the best main title sequences I've ever seen. Great score.And here is what I hated: Krebitz is totally miscast as an undercover police officer. You can not believe anything she does or says. The costumes for Krebitz are ridiculous, making her look more like modeling for sexy beach wear. She's always nice to look at, though, but it does not help to make her character believable. There's absolutely no chemistry between Hosemann and Krebitz, no sparkles. There are quite a few giant plot holes, badly covered. Most of the dialogue is so badly written that it hurts your ears.All in all, a movie both to love and hate...
