Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMarquard Bohm, the actor who played Kid, was dubbed by Jürgen Clausen.
- GoofsVery near to the beginning when the miner finds the man and his briefcase, he opens the briefcase and rummages through it. You can clearly see the first bill is real money but the others are just cut white paper.

The movie asks more questions than it answers
(1970( Deadlock
DUBBED
PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
Produced, written and directed by Roland Klick that has a man nicknamed as Kid (Marquard Bohm) attempting to cross through the desert with briefcase. And by the time he plops to the sandy desert. He is then discovered by a driver, Charles Dump (Mario Adorf) who at first was thinking about killing him but in some weird circumstance, he ends up saving his life by pulling the bullet that was stuck inside his shoulder. He does this by driving to a somewhat deserted small mining town who lives with a crazy girl, Jesse (Mascha Rabben) he sometimes calls her as his daughter and an crazy overweight lady, Corina (Betty Segal). And the Kid warns Charles about a guy expected to show up, his nickname is Sunshine (Anthony Dawson) as the somewhat deserted mining area was supposed to be their meeting place.
The movie was supposed to be in German but is dubbed into English and called "Deadlock" and by watching it, it is reminiscent to better movies made before it from "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and Point Blank and others.
Some of the existing problems with this is the fact that both Charles Dump and the Kid had opportunities to take advantage of the situations and both did not! Such as Charles Dump had the opportunity to just continue on driving as well as ignore the Kid at the opening and he did not. The Kid had the opportunity to have a gun battle with Sunshine and he did not. All this is asinine if you ask me.
