Even hardcore Akin devotees should proceed with caution, and be ready for disillusionment. The craftsmanship is there. But Akin's judgment has gone AWOL, and with it, his heart.

A bleak, depressing attempt to remove all glorification or justification from the serial killer subgenre.

Filmmakers can have a tough time distinguishing themselves in the crowded serial-killer genre. For Fatih Akin, the director of "The Golden Glove," the solution seems to have been making his movie as vomitous as possible.

And while that opening scene is undoubtedly shocking, the cumulative effect of all this despair is ultimately even more unsettling.

AV Club
Another in a long line of serial-killer dramas under the impression that it needs to be as ugly as its subject in order to be authentic, ultimately serving as further proof that verisimilitude isn't a virtue in and of itself.

The content is disgusting. The backdrop against which this story unfolds is equally unappealing.

Akin clearly knows what he’s doing in terms of filmmaking, and the fact of the matter is that this is a more realistic depiction of what serial murder actually looks like than the vast majority of films on the subject.

Product Description:
Writer-director Fatih Akin's film is based on Heinz Strunk's 2016 historical crime novel of the same name, which dramatizes the life of German serial killer Fritz Honka. Honka (Jonas Dassler) prowls the nightlife of Hamburg's St. Pauli district in the 1970s, killing and dismembering the women who followed him back to his apartment and leaving their corpses to rot behind his wall.
