Viewing Notes

aka The Ringer aka Der Hexer

Definitely one of the better krimi films I’ve seen this month. Has a fun approach along with the usual mystery crime elements.

London during this period was rife with crime wild villains like The Ringer, The Shark, The Sinister Monk, The Black Abbot, The Squeaker, The Hunchback of SoHo and others. They should’ve formed a gang.
