Crime scene: the perfect crime: is it worth turning on the Berlin crime thriller?

In Berlin once again, the two commissioners Rubin and Karow go on a hunt for criminals: Meret Becker (51) and Mark Waschke (48) have to deal with an arrogant and withdrawn secret society of elite law students in the "Crime Scene: The Perfect Crime". One of the members must be the cowardly killer …

That's what it's about

Berlin, Gendarmenmarkt, 12:00 noon. The student Mina Jiang (Yun Huang) is still waving to her fellow student Luise (Paula Kroh) from a distance when she suddenly collapses dead. A shot in the back of the head leads Commissioners Rubin and Karow into the historic center of the capital. An initial location survey shows that the shot was fired from a building not far away, the "Berlin School of Law", a private elite university for the training of lawyers.

The seminar room from which the shooting took place was occupied by four students who held a colloquium: Quembach (Franz Pätzold), Falkenstein (Lukas Walcher), Wolfram Liere (Max Krause) and Godlewsky (Johannes Scheidweiler). Rubin and Karow find out that every year the members of the colloquium select a new member who has to pass certain exams. This year it's Benjamin Renz (Anton von Lucke).

He is friends with Luise, who does not accept the secret men's association. He has already passed two tests of courage, but what about task number three? The founder of the university, Prof. Richard Liere (Peter Kurth), rushes over and advises the suspected students. Karow develops ambition, after all he has also started to study law and knows Liere from earlier times.

It is worth turning on

Yes, even if you should turn a blind eye to one or the other scene. The student secret society and its strange-looking rites stem more from the imagination of the screenwriters than from a realistic representation of a student association. Nevertheless, the case itself is told in a very exciting way and is fun. With "The Perfect Crime", the creators did not make a really big hit, but they did a solid crime thriller entertainment for Sunday evening without a fuss.

For anyone who has enjoyed Latin lessons at school, the crime thriller could mean a bigger festival. First the students drop one or the other Latin vocabulary ("Probatio") or idiom ("Per aspera ad astra"), in the end Commissioner Karow also joins the Latin canon ("Si tacuisses, iuris peritus mansisses" ). The old vocabulary books can be dusted off and pulled out …
