    Different!

    I keep questioning myself is it worth to watch this movie? Well... Why not?

    This is a movie that can be classified in the thriller movies genre. In some scenes, it really gives you goosebumps and makes the tension feel at a high level, especilally in the second part of the movie. The actors make the audience feel this tension at a very high level, especially Kivanc Tatlitug in leading role as Yalin Bey.

    We're experiencing another great and also extraordinary scenery from Hakan Gunday mind. But that's the all surprise that the movie could give to audince. I don't wanna spoil too much about the scenery of the movie but there are two "shoking" scene in this movie. One of is right after the beginning of the movie and other one is in the finale. Yeah, and that's all. There is nothing else that can make you take your eyes off the screen. The nature is good. Camera shoots are allright. That's the all. Nothing more and nothing less that you can find in this movie.

    It's an unusual movie among the other Turkish movies. The acting and the script are quite out of the ordinary.

    I hope we can see more movies coming from the minds of Gunday and Saylak 'cause we really need to see but I believe it should be better than this.
