No pun intended - I have to admit, I thought the movie would be a medical drama ... let me tell you, if you don't already know: it is not! Far from it! It does have something to do with medicine - which I am certain most will have figured out way before it is revealed in the movie and for the characters.

My summary line is a bit of a dig to German "warnings" when it comes to medicine - people are supposed to read the instructions and check if there are any side effects (and risks) ... also contact their doctor for clarification! Not sure if that translates to other countries with ... I'll say other health systems - you make of that what you will.

This however concentrates more on the mystery (and dealings of medicine) in a more action packed way ... you can have fun with this and the action it serves ... but you have to suspend your disbelief .. like a lot! Because there are things happening here ... well it's a German (language) movie that feels like it is made for TV ... yet seems to have a bit of higher values (budget and otherwise) ... but not enough to actually make it feel like it is really good.

Still decent effort for those in love of the genre ...

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

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.
