Die Abzocker - Eine eiskalte Affäre

I rented this film because it starred Bobbie Phillips. I wasn't even sure what to expect as I've seen Bobbie in martial arts and comedies, so I didn't really know what category this film was. It was kind of a drama/comedy. This film was unique to me in the way the story was told. It would be dark and kind of sad but then it would have funny moments or reactions from the actors. Like life! I thought Bobbie did a marvelous job. It was a side I hadn't seen of her acting. Also, the other characters were interesting. It was hard to figure out who the bad guy was. I would recommend this film highly. Especially given the fact that it is on video and there are limited copies which would make you think it wasn't as good as it is.

I first saw part of the movie on television, but the sync of the actors voices was not matched up well. Maybe because the actors spoke English and they were redone in German. This happens often. I was able to retrieve a copy in English through a friend and Wow! I'm glad I waited to watch it. It is a thriller, some say a mix of "Pretty Woman" and "The Grifter". I just know it was enjoyable and just when I thought I knew where it was heading, it surprised me. It also has a fun comedic flair throughout. The American actress Bobbie Phillips is a wonderful actress and played many different characters. She is also quite beautiful. German actor Thomas Heinz is good as well (although this role is different from most things I've seen him in, so it was hard to get used to). Overall, I would say this movie is a must see for anyone who enjoys thrillers.

This movie was quite a mess. There wasn't anything really going for it. The only character that had any appeal was Bobbie Phillips' Maya and she wasn't even worth it.

The plot is standard, double-cross the double-crossing double-crosser. With a few too many double crosses to make any sense. Sometimes that means it "keeps you guessing" in this case it "keeps you waiting". By the end I just wanted everyone to get thrown in jail or shot.

Bobbie Phillips turned in a wonderful performance in this film. As I watched, I realized she WAS the film. Her believability made instances which could have been sketchy, come across with sincerity that sold the film for me. The film has an interesting plot twist as well. Robert Wagner, it appears hasn't changed since "Hart to Hart". Overall, I enjoyed the film.

The movie was okay. Nothing spectacular, unless you look at Bobbie Phillips. Man she is hot. I'm surprised she hasn't been in more and better films. This movie is okay. The constant double crosses keep you guessing. It's your average grifter conning another crook film. The only reason to rent this is to see Bobbie Phillips and that is about it.
