Bellicher (Framed)


Bellicher, repackaged as Framed for the subtitle market, is a Dutch thriller. 
From IMDB: Dutch software consultancy firm's rising man Michael Bellicher's life turns into a living nightmare when he's framed for a murder and later other crimes by the well-connected goons of the mysterious Mr. Miller, who also try to kill him. He must risk appealing to now uncertain loyalties to find out who and why, avoid the police and counter what turns out to be an EU-wide virtual conspiracy.
From Vodzilla.co: Hitchcockian is the word that springs to mind when watching Framed, originally titled Bellicher. The show takes its title from its protagonist, Michael Bellicher (Daan Schuurmans), who finds himself in an unexpected spot of bother. Everything in his life seems to be going well, with a promotion at his software firm on the cards and a party held in his honour to announce it. When an ex-lover appears, though, and he lapses back into his unfaithful ways, things begin to spiral out of control. His wife (a convincingly weary Anna Drijver) is sick of it and packs her bag – and that ex of his suddenly turns up dead. Driven to investigate her mysterious demise, Bellicher only makes matters worse, turning up in the wrong place at the wrong time – exactly the kind of behaviour that leads the police to suspect him of being the culprit.
