dresden have great expectation because of it spectacular theme and it high budget . i be really look forward to it and i really want it to be good . but it be not . the only good thing be the special effect that be very well do and but and like in a really bad hollywood blockbuster and everything else be miss . it be poorly write and the screenplay try to fulfill genre rule with standard suspense or love story element but there be no depth or originality at all . it way below average . the next thing represent it be also poorly direct . it have this uninteresting tv direct style with lot of close ups and wan na be great action by fast edit where actually no action or suspense be . the actor be not bad but there be no performance that be touch in any way . i do not know . they obviously try to do a typical tv movie and not a film for the cinema and where it alway good to have some edge and a clear visual style . but why do they try to fulfill typical commercial hollywood rule . it really feel like the screenwriter do a weekend class with some american scriptwriting guru and then deliver this mess . be there no producer who be responsible for the project who have an interest in dramaturgy or visual style or plain in simple this magical cinematic moment that make some tv movie great . do they think that an tv audience be stupid and doesn not need to get a high quality movie experience . the downfall be a very good example for a good tv movie but there be probably some executive or producer who know what he be do . don not waste you time with this one and rent downfall instead .
