🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Der Auftrag is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

A classic from 1988. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
