Interesting plot but overall badly acted and badly scripted.
Film feels disjointed and poorly put together. Scenes roll onwards with no perceived planning or forethought.
We watched after the first 30 minutes only to see what happened as it was the weekend and a rainy day....
Very few rewarding moments. The version we watched on DVD was full-frame and dubbed into English. In German the poor acting might be better concealed but still the support actors were mostly average or below.
Klaus Kinski (an over-rated cult actor in my books) was mostly in there for visual effect, as he was always an interesting face to watch.
See this film if you like epic, medium-budget foreign films that attempt to achieve more than their ability and budget permits. Are a die hard Klaus Kinski fan or have a saintly streak of patience and generosity.
