I have been following Kenan Imirzalioglu (the main character Yandim Ali) for almost 7-8 years. He was too amateur when he started. But in all those years, he improved his skills and he is now one of the best actors in Turkey. It is hard to say the film is totally objective. However, it shouldn't be expected to be objective because the film tells the story of a hero from comic pages. Kenan Imirzalioglu showed a great performance in this film. The actress, Cansu Dere, was a bit insignificant in the movie. There were lots of actions and events during the movie, so she could not show herself well. In addition, the atmosphere of those years was efficiently displayed. Some explosion scenes were overdone, but they were not disturbing. Moreover, soundtracks of the movie are great. I still listen to the soundtracks. The only thing I did not like was the face expression of Ataturk in the movie. He was always looking a bit sad. If this movie tells us a story of a legend, we would like to see an Ataturk with a determined and brave face expression. However, in my opinion, this movie is one of the best Turkish movies ever.
