Wanna see real war wanna see real soldiers watch this movie.No racism and all things real.Yes I m a Turk but ı can say easily the best war movie of all times.Maybe not has got effect s black hawk dawn or saving private ryan but all true.And if you bored American heroe movie this will be an alternative movie for you.

The captain of Turkish army plays wonderful.All of the players shows us the real sense of fighting.

A last note don t watch this movie for action.Watch this movie for real senses for real...Only wacth.

The red of this flag is made by Turk s and Kurd s...
