Film Reviews by TJ

The set up is a little over complicated in the first half hour or so but stick with it it gets better and more intriguing and is quite satisfying entertainment in the end.

The synopsis makes the film sound interesting, unfortunately it's not, it's just a mish mash of car chases and action sequences, like a Bond film.  If you like that sort of thing, fine but the synopsis describes the entire premise, it goes no deeper than that.  Amusingly though that doesn't stop them explaining everything as they go, each scene felt like one of those introductions you get before a ride at Disneyland where they tell you what to expect.

The kind of film the critics love but as someone who loves foreign films and everyday dramas this is not for me.  Far too long, a storyline that seems to go nowhere, unsympathetic characters.   I gave up after two hours in the middle of a boring debate about Imans and the Koran which went on for more than 10 minutes.  Maybe it means more to a Turkish audience.
