9/10
A Turkish masterpiece !
21 March 2015
Now, how can you not watch a movie if it has garnered an avg vote of 8.6 spread over 30000 odd fans/critics on IMDb...? Sener Sen is a Turkish actor whom you probably don't even know, this was only the second film I watched with him as a lead and he is fantastic ! This film has prompted me to write my first ever review, even Braveheart couldn't do it! The movie is about the life of a bandit after having spent half of his life in prison, adapt to the changes in the surroundings, or is it the surroundings that adapt to him? Keep guessing ! His long time love is the only thing on his mind before old feeling and emotions surge and drown him into the life, he was once a King of ! He is strong, though weak at times when you see him with his love, at one time he is seen advising the young buddy to quit the wrong ways of life while at times...but he knows how to turn things right if they do really go wrong...! Street views, the countryside, the city of old Istambul and the starlit sky-- a wow cinematography! Add to that the Bandit's act ! Superfluous !!! Please watch it and save the movie for next generations ! It sure teaches us a way of life that was !!!
