I recently got to see "Maschinenblut" in two different theatres.

From the first scene throughout the entire movie I felt connected to the main characters in a good way, a bad way, and sometimes unexplainable.

"Maschinenblut" pulls you in and doesn't let you go, making you wanting to desperately enjoy the few glimpses of hope and relief within the scenes before your hopes are shattered once again.

Samuel Merold's portrayal might not be as present and shiny as Omar Eltokali's, but impacts just as much with his incredible subtleness and nuance.

Eltokali makes you root for his character and possibly hating him all the same at one point, but either way bringing a type of humanity into this movie's inhumane world that makes one hope for a happy ending all the more.

I can recommend this one to everyone who loves a good police flick.

No clichés, no dumb comedy. Just two main characters fighting against what feels like the entire world.

10/10.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
