Info

Two young men, Martin and Rudi, both suffering from terminal cancer, get to know each other in a hospital room. They drown their desperation in tequila and decide to take one last trip to the sea. Drunk and still in pajamas they steal the first fancy car they find, a 60's Mercedes convertible. The car happens to belong to a bunch of gangsters, which immediately start to chase it, since it contains more than the pistol Martin finds in the glove box.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door Audience Reviews

Steineded How sad is this?
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
tarasovalex Fate brings the characters and pictures in the hospital, where doctors render their death sentence. By the time of their lives is important. Further events in the film unfold in a rapid pace. Stealing a car with a million German marks in the trunk, they escape from the hospital.They are pursued by hired killers, they become robbers Willy-Nelly, they are chased by the police, they fall into a brothel. But nevertheless continue to rush forward towards his destiny. While watching this film, I wanted to cry. This film left me only positive emotions. Happy to watch him again.
Tristan Kinner I really love this movie. This is sad, funny and surprising in one. The only good German movie after that was the live of the others (2008) and now there are just bad RomComs or TV-Dramas... This is very sad because Til Schweiger shows in this movie that he is able to performe a good character. Jan Josef Liefers is a actor who can be awesome if he want. In this movie he show it, in the movies after this not any more... One of the best things in this movie is that it never become ridiculous and don't get to sadly. At least I want say that the age of the good German movies is definitely over, and I find that really sadly because with that movies the Germans had shown that they have the chance to do good Movies. So all in all is this in my opinion the best movie since the tin drum.
clochardt The movie is great. Simply brilliant. Even if you try to retell the plot you'll miss the whole point, because this movie isn't about the chain of events - it's about the people, the characters, the life itself. There is not a single scene that falls out of the whole composition: even though the plot is not the key issue here, it still beautifully binds the whole story together, perfectly connecting all the dots. And have your tissues ready: no matter how many times I watch it I always cry at the end and I'm not usually very sentimental. As for my male friends who watched it with me several times they usually just stay very silent at the end. It is very emotional and overwhelming: both sad and somehow positive at the same time. I envy those who have not seen it and will watch it for the first time.
andlommy After watching the movie for 11th time i decided to share what i think of it.It is simply great. By great i mean the idea that is (supposedly) very deep inside. Perhaps it's about the ultimate goal, that everyone has and hasn't got time to fulfill it, and when the moment comes that makes one understand 'now is the right time'. Sometimes it's too late, sometimes one never understands it is time to change something, but for those two, life was a success. Quoting matrix (kill me), it's the "free your mind" style, when all problems go away and you can do whatever you want to do. It's actually a very thrilling experience, and hope this movie can inspire someone to change something in the rhythm of life they're currently living. I like movies that make you think different of things, and this surely is one that does so.
