    Suspense? I fell asleep right in the middle. The script was far too long and pretty shallow.

    Shallow? The actor in the lead role was totally convincing!

    You're impossible! They made a wonderful novel into a film and shot it here in Berlin. I'm defending this film!

    Dann schauen wir im Dezember die Fortsetzung - und Emil bekommt einen doppelten Espresso.

    Then we'll watch the sequel in December - and Emil gets a double espresso.
