The verdict

Prosecution has only just arrived, so ratings for the German film are still finding their level. The 113-minute runtime sits in the comfortable middle. It's in theatres in Germany now — best caught on the big screen.

Should you spend 1h 53m on it?

1h 53m of German thriller, not one for younger kids. Runs about as long as you'd expect, so no scheduling gymnastics needed.
