This is the second film in the series of films about the Austrian criminal psychologist, Dr. Richard Brock. It begins with the good doctor browsing in a book shop. An armed gunman runs into the shop, fleeing from the police, and takes the shop's staff and customers hostage. Richard speaks to the gunman, trying to calm him, but after a few minutes the gunman shoots himself in front of the hostages. The police arrest Richard, accusing him of interfering with police activities. As you might remember from my review of the first film, Richard advises the police, but he isn't a policeman. The investigating officer releases him with a caution, but this doesn't stop Richard from investigating the case, because he thinks that the police are doing it wrong.
The title of this film means "Traces of Evil: Angel of Revenge". It's slower than the first film, with less action, but nevertheless a good film. Aren't most detective films slow moving?
