    • Trivia
      Towards the end of the movie, when Sergeant Süleyman leaves his home to go to mosque, he greets an old man who is reading his newspaper in front of a cafe on the street. That old man is the real life Süleyman who was 91 years old at the time. Unfortunately, he died within two months after the premiere, while the film was still in general release.
    • Goofs
      Scene of North Korean Ambush; the American officer holding a Beretta sport model pistol ; it should be 45.cal 1911 Colt instead.

    Very Good movie!
    I am not Turk, so my perspective is no Xenophobic.

    I have to congatulate both the story and the movie, which is extremely well done , BRAVO!
