Summary

Professional surfer Peter Bachmann meets with a young couple he met over the internet. When Bachmann accuses the husband of being impotent, the husband loses it and kills Bachmann. Three months later the body is discovered and Brandtner and Rex are called in. With a shortage of clues, the detectives decide the only way to solve the murder is to place their own add for couples on the internet.

The good

Hee hee! Böck and Kunz are adorable as the conservative inspectors who get hit on by sexy couples. Brandtner, of course, can handle himself and gives as good as he gets (please ignore all double meanings in that sentence!).

The bad

The scene where Rex suppossedly opens an electric car window is incredibly fake.

Disclaimer : Kommissar Rex is owned by Mungo film, Tauris film, SAT.1 and ORF and was created by Peter Hajek and Peter Moser. None of the characters, actors or photographs belong to me, unfortunately. I'm just borrowing them, having a bit of fun and then returning them more or less unharmed.
