Katharina Blum (Angela Winkler) is a young quiet maid. She spends a night with Ludwig (Jürgen Prochnow). In the morning, the police in tactical gear busts into her apartment to arrest him but he's not there. He is a suspected terrorist and she becomes the target of the police and the tabloid reporter Werner Tötges.
I've been watching a few shows with a similar theme. There've been a couple about Richard Jewell. Blum is not Jewell and that's a flaw in the argument. I actually don't have many complaints about the police. They're tough. They're frustrating. I expect nothing less and that's why I'm always more annoyed with suspects talking to the police than the other way around. The first half is a little slow. The true villain is the newspaper and that reporter. The movie should concentrate more on him. He's the big bad. This is a little frustrating at times but very compelling.
