Alleingang

About This Movie

Alleingang, a lesser-known gem from 1983, offers a gritty look into betrayal and survival within the crime genre. The film’s atmosphere is thick with tension, creating a palpable sense of dread as Phil, our protagonist, navigates both his job and the complexities of trust. The pacing is interesting—sometimes slow, which adds to the suspense, while the robbery scene stands out with its raw, practical effects. The performances aren't flashy, but they carry weight, especially Phil's emotional journey as he processes both his friend's betrayal and the violent chaos that ensues. It’s a unique take on the crime thriller that leaves you pondering moral dilemmas long after the credits roll.
