Finally, a dark piece of history revealed to the masses. The Turkish government tried all it can to prevent this from happening, but the persistence of the Armenian people prevailed. The modern Turkish Government will hate any reference to a genocide that is depicted by this movie. Genocide did happen to Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians and other minorities. Hitler knew that Turkey "got away with" this genocide, so he was emboldened to act in the way he did. The gruesome reality of the Ottomans' barbarism was toned down to make the movie more palatable to sensitive audiences with a PG rating. This is a victory for good over evil. Justice has been denied the Armenians for 102 years but this movie brings us one step closer to bringing the truth to a world obsessed with comic book escapism and cell phones distraction. There is no statute of limitations on the truth. A great movie. Everything from the story line and its backdrop, the attempted genocide of the Armenians by the Young Turks, the acting (Specially Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale were phenomenal), the cinematography, they were all great. A must see for everyone.

Review:
Jack Topalian's very first movie and I may say that he did a great job by portraying the struggles and the dark life of mafia, sacrifices that are made, the value and the trust of the family, loyalty and honor.
Overall it's a great movie, with twists and turns and it always keeps you interested.
