About This Movie

So, Derrick - Die Pflicht ruft! is quite an interesting blend of genres. It's got that animated vibe but mixes in comedy with a dash of crime. The plot has this odd charm where Inspector Derrick, having brought the crime rate in Munich down to zero, finds himself pulled back into chaos by a European Song Contest. The pacing feels a bit erratic, which kind of adds to the charm, honestly. You get a sense of Derrick's pride and then the absurdity of his situation. The animation style isn't groundbreaking but has a quaint, nostalgic feel to it. It’s a unique take on the crime genre, with humor that doesn’t always land, yet still makes you chuckle at the absurdity of it all.

Unique animated take on crime with humor.Pacing feels loose, which adds to its charm.Derrick's journey reveals some unexpected absurdities.
