With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and people who like their stories at full throttle. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Sits nicely alongside The Goonies.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.
The four young snoopers Tim, Karl, Kloesschen and Gaby by chance discover a hidden cave near an old castle. In it there's a board that seems to describe the way to a legendary sword. They ask their history teacher Schindler about it. He forbids them further actions, but secretly continues investigations with help of two ruthless criminals. But our young heros don't give up on an adventure so fast...
