Can somebody explain why is 2 for the life of one? Cause I didn't get any justifiable reason, nor Donovan was the greatest negotiator (if he was they don't show it!) this side of the wall.

All the gibberish, indecision, etc. of DDR's people are not well explained.

And please don't get me started with those cheesiedumblowbow moments: the catchphrase of Abel, Standing Talls, the jump over the wall/fence, the paper on the train,"then I f**k it all up", get back home then in the news I'm so tired, oh my god! America should stop being so ethnocentric and think that foreign people also buy tickets, and know a couple of things of politics & history, don't underestimate us, please!

And it's sad cause after that "we're American cause the constitution", the trial (even though the synchrony of the events should be delivered a little bit better, just saying')the movie completely got me, but after the eurotrip, for me at least, it went downhill.
