    Probably the worst film ever

    This is an awful film with a single message to glorify Mr Recep Tayyip Erdogan. We are used to the poor quality of the Turkish movies but this particular one is probably the worst ever, not worth watching unless you want to subject yourself the most excruciating political torment of admiring him at any expense. I wish there were an option of rating it zero star.

    What a waste of time

    A complete waste of time. Lower quality in everything we see. If there was 0 star rating in IMDb, I would definitely click on that. I've watched lots of bad movies but this one is definitely on the bottom. If you ever have 2 hours to spend on anything, I'd recommend you to try to invent time traveling machine or cure cancer instead of watching this awful movie.

    Piece of Crap

    just for the arts sake i wasted my time for watching this. Here we go, yes it is an absolute propaganda of the thing subject to the movie. moreover a significant evidence of somebody with no education, qualification and experience can go that high (oh yeah) in current Turkey. really guys ? is this the idea ? well this is your dude just like you.

    the scenario, screenplay, acting and everything about the film is crap just like the subject because of the same idea, let movie making to professionals, otherwise you're just so funny.

    Propaganda movie funded by Erdogan's party

    This movie has been released right before the referendum which is going to define the future of democratic Turkish Republic. Referendum will define if Turkey will continue to be ruled with democracy or autocracy. Since the last four days after its premiere, although it has been distributed with 315 copies around Turkish Republic, it's only been viewed by 67.580 people, despite the biased efforts to make the propaganda more effective. The viewers' attention seems to be rather weak, and political propaganda through cinema seems to have failed. Sorry but cinema should not be used as a way of dictatorial propaganda.
