  1) Imagine Fight Club was made in Germany and The Narrator is a hacker now
  2) Forget what you just imagined and (re)watch Fight Club
  3) Be happy

  Review by Lucas Barwenczik 10

  Cool, bei GZSZ geht es jetzt auch ums Hacken.

  Hoffnungslos generisches Cyber-Kasperletheater, das sich aggressiv ideenlos seine stümperhaft erzählte Geschichte bei diversen 90er-Kultfilmen zusammenklaut. Wäre ich an "Hackers", "Matrix", "Fight Club" oder "The Usual Suspects" beteiligt gewesen, ich würde dem maßlos untalentierten Baran bo Odar den Arsch wegklagen. Inszenatorisch kommt nicht ein eigener Gedanke auf, Klischee jagt Klischee. Im RTL 2 Mittagsprogramm ist mehr Eigenständigkeit und Originalität zu spüren.

  Unsympathische Darsteller spielen noch unsympathischere (in Ermangelung eines besseren Wortes) "Figuren". Elyas M'Barek spielt nicht, sondern stellt sich auf das Set und sagt Sätze auf.

  Die Wendung werden bis zum erbrechen ausezählt, weil der Regisseur sein Publikum für so intelligent wie Nacktschnecken hält. Das Drehbuch verhält sich mit seinen Symbolen und…

  Review by Warp ★★★

  Nice and smooth cyber thriller with decent cinematography, some banging songs and a few good twists in the story. Due to the extremely fast pace, the few improbabilities are less noticeable. The end is remarkably unlikely, of the order of magnitude 'too good to be true'.Still quite a nice watch that absolutely never bores.

  Review by Fred 🇵🇷 ★★★★

  'Now You See Me' meets' 'Mr. Robot' with a dash of 'The Matrix' thrown in for some sleekly glitzy thematic zest.

  Being the massive 'Dark' (if you haven't watched it, all three glorious seasons are on Netflix now!) fan that I am, all it took for me to check this techno-thriller out was seeing series director Baran bo Odar's name. The millisecond I did, I quite literally dropped what I was doing and watched this.

  It was the best decision I could've made.

  Frenetically paced but with the kind of continually unfolding intrigue that makes you hang on to your chair, 'Who Am I – Kein System ist sicher' is devoted to keeping you on the edge of that seat…

  Very cool german hacker thriller, about a group of friends that wind up taking things too far .. it’s like a mix of fight club and now you see me .. the twists seemed predictable but then they got me !

  Review by Zegan ★★★★★

  Ngak cuma aksi hacking-hackingnya aja yang keren, tapi cara penyajian ceritanya, sinematografinya, music scoring-nya dan plot twist-nya juga keren, bahkan plot twist-nya jauh lebih kerena sangat tidak terduga dan sulit ditebak ternyata plot twist-nya berlapis.

  Ada yang bilang kalau film ini mirip Fight Club, awalnya aku iyakan saja mungkin film ini terinspirasi dari itu, tapi setelah dilihat lebih dalam ternyata jauh banget, cuma suasananya aja yang mirip, tapi premis dan twist-nya beda sekali.

  Suka banget dengan cara penyajian Baran Bo Odor di film ini yang namanya baru kukenal sejak menggarap series Dark, pokoknya keren abis, sebagai contoh penggambaran dunia maya yang digambarkan seperti dalam gerbong kereta api.

  Dan yang paling keren dan epic di film ini adalah saat-saat di mana…

  Review by Chris W ★★★★½ 2

  GODDAMN. This fantastic but sadly overlooked German film tells the story of a social outcast who joins a group of hacktivists. This movie’s style is massively influenced by Fight Club; so much that some might dismiss this movie as a rip-off. However, believe me that the Fight Club parallels are intentionally planted into the movie and that it has much more to offer.

  I enjoyed that the hacking aspect of the movie is handled with care and with a lot more “realism” than most movies that deal with this topic. Of course the digital stunts they pull off aren’t very realistic, but the dialogue shows that the writers did their research and went beyond “hacking the mainframe”.

  I love the…

  Review by Katalas ★★★½ 2

  I love the world of computers and especially when it comes to this underground world of hacking and everything that includes cyber-crime. This is an area that fascinates me to the point that sometimes I too would have liked to be endowed with this talent in programming and being the vigilante to track down anyone who has committed atrocious acts or to denounce companies for their dubious activities.

  I think that, for some time now, cinema seems to realize how fascinating the subject is and begins to take hacking more seriously when it comes to showing it on screen (I think in particular of the series Mr. Robot which is for me the perfect example).

  This remark is true in…

  Review by Zero Ena ★★

  GZSZ ist unter die Hacker gegangen und dabei hängt sich der Rechner dauernd auf! Beim erneuten hochfahren friert der Monitor ein, wieder und wieder!

  Baran bo Odar beweist, dass er als Regisseur ein gutes Händchen hat. Aber das Drehbuch hat er offenbar mit den Füßen geschrieben. Ein Klischee jagt das nächste und die Figuren benehmen sich teils affig und sind unsympathisch! Die Wendungen im Verlauf des Films kommen so überraschend, wie das Aufhängen des PCs beim Besuch auf einer Pornoseite aus Polen oder Tschechien!
  Ne sorry, das war nix!

  Wenn das also einer der besseren deutsche Filme ist, dann möchte ich nicht wissen wie die schlechten aussehen.

  Review by Lars Henriks ★★★ 3

  I have a strained relationship with German cinema. Lots of criticisms, lots of thoughts, very little hope. I have pretty much given up on it.
  When "Who am I" came out, I heard a lot about it - Of course. The usual thing you hear in Germany when people are really raving about a German movie "It's really okay for a German film! Absolutely watchable!". Frankly, that kind of recommendation is sure to put me off a movie.
  Years later, I watched Dark. It being German, I was SO skeptical towards it. But it completely won me over and blew me away. I love it so much! It's everything I had always hoped German film to be able to be…
