"Blutzbrüdaz" is a German 90-minute movie from 5 years ago written and directed by Özgür Yildirim. And as much as I liked his work on "Chiko", I have to say here he is quite disappointing. Then again, it is not entirely his fault, buts mostly the fault of German rap artist Sido, who plays the protagonist in here without any acting talent at all. His character's name Otis here is basically an acronym of his name in real. So yeah, Sido is pretty bad here and same goes for all the members of his rap posse, such as B-Tight, who play supporting characters in here. The only somewhat delight is the stunning Claudia Eisinger, but she does not have a lot to work with either. The story with the female and male characters is as generic as it is predictable. Old girlfriend does not appreciate his art and is only in it because she wants the money. New girlfriend loves his honest approach to music. I guess she should take a closer listen to the misogynistic texts of his new love. Oh wait, he is just a tortured soul who wants to express his talent and it's all just show and not really him right? Laughable. Can't believe people are actually stupid enough to fall for his shtick.
The film's title is already pretty bad as this is not about the friendship between the two members of the band in the title, but really about both going their individual ways and having careers on their own. And of course, they keep badmouthing the other all the time with the most obscene gestures like that website Otis made with his friends. And still we are supposed to like him as a human. Who cares if he is ruthless, disrespectful, obscene and a criminal? Well, guess what, Mr. Würdig? I do. It is funny how Bushido's film, which is actually far superior to this crap-fest here, is always talked about when there is discussion about really horrible German films while this one rarely gets mentioned, is even seen as successful from an artistic perspective by some. It is not. It is as unauthentic as it gets and all about it is fake. Stay far far away.
