Sadistic father's desperate final act of evil
24 February 2022
The third installment of the new Saarbruecken Tatort Team is the culmination of a bizarre family drama involving one of the Detectives Adam and his team member Leo, who are childhood friends. Adam is summoned under false pretenses by his estranged father, an abusive career criminal who is the embodiment of evil. This seemingly desperate call "to sit down and talk" is a trap of diabolical and insane proportions.

The twists in the plot give a view into a mind of a truly evil man, who seems to enjoy nothing more than inflicting pain and suffering on those around him. The ending is somewhat predictable, yet lets the viewer expect a more hopeful continuation to the theme; the drama of Adam and Leo, two men living with the wounds and nightmares of the past. This is the best of the 3 films thus far, and I look forward to what comes next!
