Eisner - 42 - Die Faust

Overview

Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) have to deal with an absolute professional in the face of a mysterious series of murders. First the masked killer kills a tattooed Serb, then the inconspicuous Georgian employee (Sebastian Pass) of a large gardening business and finally a young mother. Each time, the perpetrator leaves no traces, but a shocking staging: he spectacularly displays the desecrated corpses in places where there are so many people on the move that the police cannot find any usable DNA evidence. Ritual murders, sexual offenses or even a secret service killer squad - Fellner and Eisner have to investigate in all directions. There is not even clarity about the victims, all of whom lived under false identities in Vienna.finally movement in the case. A surprise also awaits the ice-cold killer in the game of confusion: he has gone unnoticed by a mix-up that endangers his perfectly camouflaged action. Meanwhile, Eisner and Fellner stumble upon a lead whose scope soon amazes them. Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser, alias Eisner and Fellner, are chasing a cold-blooded murderous phantom in Vienna's new "Tatort". What starts out as a spectacularly staged series of ritual murders in the television thriller "Die Faust" soon looks like a secret service commando operation. Director Christopher Schier, who has already had hit ratings with the police thriller "Tatort: Wehrlos", cleverly plays with expectations. He superbly combines crime thrillers with surprising twists, pinpoint shockers and a hearty portion of "shame". In their 17th joint case, Krassnitzer and Neuhauser are in great shape and show what they have in each other.
