Adapted from a novel which was itself based on a true story, "The Robber" (Der Rauber), the second film from German director Benjamin Heisenberg (his first feature, "The Sleepers," premiered at Cannes in 2005), provides plenty of adrenaline-stoked action even though its plot, paradoxically, is a tour-de-force of minimalist deliberation.
