...owner with a will of steel and a heart of gold. Turning in a memorable and credible performance, he shows us exactly why he became a star in the first place. German superstar Schweiger does what he can with an underwritten character, shining in his all-too-brief moments onscreen. At first, he is portrayed as the stereotypical foreign enemy villain, loaded with menace and poison.
