Plot: Rising High tells the story of the rise and fall of two real-estate fraudsters. Viktor Stein (David Kross), Gerry Falkland (Frederick Lau) and the banker Nicole Kleber (Janina Uhse) get incredibly rich within a short period of time. But soon they are sucked deeper and deeper into a maelstrom of lies, fraud and deceit - until at some point they completely lose sight of reality and have to decide what is really important to them.
My Movie Review: The movie is flashy white collar foe with familiar criminal caper brings new cool visuals to show but less substance to tell set in real-estate chicanery lead's to the high life! Rising High (Betonrausch) is sophisticated in the first look that party scene was epic and when the party's over kinda cool too just don't know where it starts to look redundant as unbearable:( Maybe the cash, cocaine and construction get too much they forgot to enjoy it was supposed to be a feel good movie in my mind if they loosen up' and gone run wild this one could worked:) The Wolf Of Wall Street for German Estate Agents slick caper can't quite keep pace with what the story demand to flow as fun con becomes more liability leaving us feeling sad a bit down! As fast shifting plot, where the whole story are flashbacks to the past during an interview made in prison we look on the positive side the main actors are cute and high quality acting, the score are as
usual' with some extreme rhythm section that catches' the central vibe of the film:)
Critics Consensus: This is a competently crafted movie too shallow to come up with much reason why we should root for these people, and too derivative to make their vertiginous rise and fall more than forgettable formula entertainment. It's a bit like a Brit geezer-caper film in some ways, and, like so many of those, sounds as though it is based on a hundred urban myths and friend-of-a-friend anecdotes. What makes it more than just that is Kross... Drug use! binge drinking, cursing in formulaic crime drama. Brings nothing new to the rise-of-a-conman genre, but it does it well enough. Rising High is watchable, but it needs to be much more than that. It starts well, finishes with a flourish and finds enough "Isn't this rip-off cute?" moments to be worth your while. "Rising High" is a white collar crime movie with little pizazz and even less substance. Rising High is a crime caper with nothing to say a watchable yet hollow 90 minutes!
