The plot revolves around a wannabe local TV reporter of unknown age who mystically understands that a series of killings has taken place. "Mystically" because she's able to find a necklace (which looks like an earring) in a murky swimming hole. Her father, also of unknown age, is the local cop, annoyed at his daughter (who apparently doesn't source her stories) for reporting on the murders. Daddy is the worst cop in the world since every crime scene he comes across "doesn't show any signs of struggle" including the obvious strangulation marks on a victims neck.
To call this movie inept is an understatement. It *is*, however, the perfect movie to do complex mathematical computations to since missing any of the plot points means absolutely nothing. From the start, it's not even clear what's going on, who's involved or where it takes place geographically. At heart, it shows a basic misunderstanding of the genre and naive America worship. For some reason, people wind up "going to LA" a lot.
Had this movie been acted in its native German, there'd be nothing to say except that the movie sucks and never, ever, ever watch it. HOWEVER - since the filmmakers' pretensions got the best of them, they did the whole thing in German version of Engrish. And that's what you should watch this. The gaffes and poor grasp of English idioms or even basic grammar kick this up to the level of "must watch". Don't get me wrong. It's still a two star movie but the script rockets into the stratosphere of surrealism because of it. Some of my faves:
Sabrina: (reporting on one of the crimes) More evidence has been found about yesterday's evening Sabrina's cop-dad busting into a room to bust a perp: Here is the police! Hands up! Sabrina's cop-dad advising Sabrina to be safe: Lock the door. Don't let anybody into it Sabrina returning a dis: Stop acting like Miss Discounting Universe Sabrina to her dad who, tells her he's too busy to hear about an actually important lead: I will mail you the number via SMS Sabrina who's father has put her under house arrest for being better at his job than him and put a guard on her. She orders out for pitza (pizza): Mushrooms and tuna pitza! My favorite!
Almost every single line contains a poorly pronounced word or some travesty of English and you are a Miss Discounting Universe if you don't watch this.
