with das weiße rauschen and die fetten jahre sind vorbei han weingartner be well on his way to become one of the most promising austrian director . then he go on to make this movie and his talent seriously have to be question . free rainer seem like the story an over motivated class representative would think up . the little message that the movie have get most of what on television be stupid be drive home with a mallet . the conclusion people watch whatever be on and and if you give them intelligent television they will be more than happy to imbibe it be implausible and to say the least . the acting and edit be awkward for the most part . the usually mediocre gregor bloéb shine a a sleek program director and but the rest of the cast be forgettable at best . from the get go and when rainer ( moritz bleibtreu ) drive through the street and drinking vodka and tot a gun and a baseball bat and listen to aggressive music ( downset anger . jesus christ and you seriously live in the past and weingartner ) and you can not help but wonder represent be this meant seriously . be it just a dream sequence or something . be it go to get well . the answer to those question be yes and no and no . free rainer be an embarrassment and a career shatterer . it intention might have be good and but the result be a boring and unbelievable and annoying movie and that wish it could maintain the anarchic power of die fetten jahre sind vorbei ( which be awkwardly reference a a quality movie in free rainer ) . weingartner next project will have to make up for this mess .
