Occasionally the humor found in the group's difficulty grasping the changes the years have wrought erases the distasteful attempt to whitewash these anarchists' violent past. Still, it's a copout to pretend that these particular radicals never seemed to have hurt anyone seriously, and indeed, even the exploded bomb only slightly injures two innocent bystanders. It's up to the considerable efforts of a most capable cast--including Til Schweiger (Tim) and Nadja Uhl (Nele)--to draw us into their morally skewered story. --Kevin Filipski Average Rating:
 Rating:  - German movieIt's, perhaps, one of the most meaningful movies I've see lately. It addresses idealism and what happens to those who continue to hold on to their ideals. It's also about friendship and loyalty. Excellent acting, good plot that never sags or slows. Rating: - Great Anarchy FlickIf you're up for a movie that rages against the government and the police, you will most definetly enjoy this movie. And, what better language to do it in than German? This movie was kick-ass. "What to do in case of fire? Let it burn!" (Well of course!) In any case, the acting is excellant, NO crappy C-grade acting (you won't die from bad acting skill in this movie). Til Schweiger is the most Bad-Ass, Smart, Superb Actor; Awesome expressions. Quick Cap Summary: Read More Rating: - Film tells national history very intelligentFirstly, I read all other reviews about "what to do in case of fire" and all in all I come to the following conclusion: The movie is a veryy good movie an suprised my expectations in a good way. When I first heard about this movie, the title sounded to me like a usual dumb hollywood movie with lots of action and no significant plot. But it's a very good plot ! I think you have to be intelligent to understand this movie, you have to have a few knowledge of this particular ... Read More Rating:  - This One Doesn't Set My Soul On FireThis film is not a classic, but it is an interesting portrayal of young adults growing up and moving on (or not.) It is 1987. In a rundown neighborhood of West Berlin, a group in their late teens or early 20s envisions themselves to be revolutionary anarchists. A dozen years later, all but two have grown up and moved into adulthood. Those two, now over thirty, are still painting graffiti on police cars and protesting the opening of yet another Mercedes Benz showroom. Suddenly, a bomb they had set ... Read More Rating:  - A Childish AttemptWhen I read about the movie I pictured it to be very differnt than what it really was. I was disapointed to find that it reminded me of some kind of teen flick, although I can't really put my finger on why. The charartors felt sterotypical and it seemed you were always one step ahead of them because the movie was never even slightly subtle. Overall the movie is pradictable and therefore boring.
