Historically accurate and highly authentic recreation of a 1970s Germany rocked by the distinct threat of a new type of terrorism. The Red Army Faction (originally known by the media as "The Baader Meinhof Complex", after two of its originators Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof) considered themselves to be a Communist and "Urban Guerrilla" group who carried out a number of attacks against the then Federal German Government who they deemed as Fascist. The movie chronicling these events is a well written and sharply directed dissection of the group's motives and failures. The camerawork brilliantly captures the chaos, violence and turbulence of the period. A fantastic cast compliment this gripping and startlingly impressive thriller.

Full of energy and surprising, even to me. Very few people try this hard to make quality films anymore. A completely new insight into a German terrorist group who took "action" when all most people did was talk. Excellent performances and direction.
