Ein naheliegender Mord

About This Movie

So, 'Ein naheliegender Mord' from '88—it's got that gritty, atmospheric vibe you'd expect from a crime film of that era. Frank Gormann, a former inmate, gets handed this suitcase filled with cash, but it’s not just a simple score. There's a gun and a hit list photo inside, which cranks up the tension. The way Frank navigates his newfound 'luck' feels so raw, especially when he meets Julia, the femme fatale with her own agenda. The pacing is tight, keeping you guessing about what he's gonna do next. The performances are solid, too, especially the chemistry between the leads. It's this blend of noir elements and moral ambiguity that makes it stand out, typical of the late '80s crime wave.
