End of the Game
Directed by Maximilian Schell
Produced by MFG-Film, T.R.A.C.
A methodical, morally murky detective thriller about obsession and corruption, where the pursuit of justice becomes as compromising as the crimes being investigated.
Hans Baerlach is a Swiss police detective who has dedicated much of his career to pursuing powerful and allegedly murderous businessman Richard Gastmann. Though Baerlach's partner meets his demise while investigating Gastmann, his replacement, Walter Tschanz, is undaunted. Meanwhile, the lovely Anna Crawley becomes involved in the case, which proceeds to take many twists and turns.
