first off and i haven not see the tv series about the same main character . i know there be an audience for movie like this . but i tend to expect at least a small storyline that be be follow in the film . after watch der clown i be not sure what story be tell there . all i can recall be this represent a guy and formerly a member of some sort of special force and drop out of that unit . now he be free to break legal rule to successfully hunt down the bad guy . of course his girlfriend have fight on his side and have be kill in action . we learn this in the opening scene . the bad guy have the famous idea to rob gold bar ( can money be more difficult to carry away . ) and they do it with ease . it take just a grenade on the highway to get rid of all the chase police force . the clown start the hunt . a friend support helicopter ( yes and several of them and because they be wrecked one after the other ) . and a blondish journalist show up and right in time to be take hostage and later to kiss the clown . no other purpose for her to be in the movie . i already forget how the bad guy be stop in the end . action in a movie doesn not have do be explosion . but in this movie and everything explodes . and a in the german tv series cobra 11 and car tend to lift off in slow motion as soon a they hit a little obstacle . this be dull entertainment and destruction for the lover of brute force . you do not care for any character in this movie . the maker try to make u feel for that poor man that have lose his girlfriend and but it doesn not work just by put in the scene of her death in slow motion . if you like tv production like cobra 11 and you will probably like this movie . but do not expect more . if you go to the movie to be touch and move by the story and this be definitely not your film .
