"Grandiose German genre cinema like this is far too rare: Harwarth and Hawie immerse their bitter prison and revenge drama in suitably gloomy colors, while all the actors are convincing as increasingly desperate anti-heroes."
- Filmfestival Cologne -
“The future is a lonely place (is) something like the perfect dystopia, (...) a kind of ‘Blade Runner’ in the German prison milieu with a very ambivalent main character and an apocalyptic showdown at the end.”
- RBB KULTUR -
“Dark, gripping, uncompromising: a melancholy study in the guise of a revenge thriller.”
- IFF Mannheim Heidelberg -
“A gripping film, strongly acted and also visually strongly realized.(...) Oppressive and impressive genre cinema as you rarely see it in Germany.”
- Tagesschau - Das Kinoressort -
