Kurdish militia vs. Turkish Soldier
25 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
The Turkish soldier (Tarik Tarcan) was given a mission that he had to find a Kurdish group trying to pass the Cilo Mountains in South-East region of Turkey. During the engrossing pursue, soldiers saw the group but the leader of the soldiers' ordered his soldiers not to fire before calling them to accept the capturing. Unfortunately, one of the soldiers could not stop himself and fire against the Kurdish group. In a few minutes a huge avalanche fell towards the two groups and both sides lost a lot of man. The only survivor from the soldiers side is the leader and a girl and a man from the Kurdish side. The woman was seriously wounded and not able to walk by herself. It's a short but a nice movie taking about the Kurdish problem of Turkey in east that takes place from 80's. Although there are some ridiculous film-capturing mistakes, especially during the avalanche session but it's worth to see. (6/10)

A Hope for the future of Turkish Cinema
23 September 2004
Nice attempt to improve the Turkish Movie Industry but its plot is not an original idea. The performances of the players are praiseworthy, but it seems to me that it has some inefficiencies in screenplay. Especially, after the kidnapping of Fikret, the dialogs between him and Mustafa are sometimes very hilarious. I mean this is a high tension movie (at least it is expected to be) and those ridiculous speeches cause me to lose my attention and desire to the kidnapping incident. Fikret Kuskan and Nejat Isler were so successful, and even her small part Basak Koklukaya was awesome.. Despite of all above negative points, I think it is worth to watch this movie; 6.5/10

Take Lesson
29 November 2003
I have seen this wonderful movie a couple of times and in each time I got the same pleasure and never bored. The movie basically gives one vital lesson to its audience and it is that every human being has to have a talent or let's say every person has to do at least one thing professionaly in their lifes in order to survive in case of hardship. I would like to give an example about this. Zugurt Aga was a rich man in his town and even does not need to do anything because he has a lot of assistants next to him but despite he is very good at cooking "cig kofte" (let's translate as "raw meat balls" to English) and when he lost all of his belongings and became poor, he immigrated to big city (Istanbul) and started to sell his homemade, delicious, original cig kofte and eventually be happy.
