The idea is The Wolf of Wall Street Does Potsdamer Platz. Kaya is no Scorsese.

Rated: 2/5

New York Times

"Rising High" is a white collar crime movie with little pizazz and even less substance.

Variety

This is a competently crafted movie too shallow to come up with much reason why we should root for these people, and too derivative to make their vertiginous rise and fall more than forgettable formula entertainment.

Paul M. Bradshaw

NME (New Musical Express)

Kross, Lau and Uhse all do a great job with what they have - Kross in particular standing out with a range that spans wide-eyed kid to slick city boy, through wannabe chancer and everything in-between - but the script isn't quite strong enough to keep up.

Rated: 3/5

Common Sense Media

Drug use, binge drinking, cursing in formulaic crime drama.

Critically Acclaimed Podcast

Brings nothing new to the rise-of-a-conman genre, but it does it well enough.
