Surprisingly humorous and enjoyable German/Turkish gangster film. Surprising mainly because I personally don’t really like German films or gangster films. But I did really enjoy watching this one. The acting and the language are very real and touching. The main character (Chiko) realizes that friendship is more important then money and women. Well done.
I’d say go watch it if you don’t mind to see a bit of violence and lots and lots of swearing underlined with subtle humour. Plus it’s got the most horrendous car in it: a white new Mercedes with gold rims. It’s almost worth watching just to see the hideousness of this car. Fun fact: The film was made in Hamburg 
A little cinema anecdote:
We were sitting in a fairly empty cinema with our legs over the seats in front of us (ohhh…bad!). A security guy came in after the ads to tell us off. Fair enough…Obviously we put our legs back when the lights were turned off. The funny and rather surprising bit was that he came back during the film (!) and stood next to us with his arms across watching us for a few minutes to make sure we wouldn’t do it again!!! How rude! I had to laugh so much I could hardly concentrate on the film. After the film was finished we dashed past the guy, out of the cinema before he could say anything.
Check it out! There are a lot more German films being made at the moment then I realized. (The video is in English)
