Well, the film is certainly good looking. It features the 'saturated' look that is typical of Turkish films and communicates the geography well. But the film itself failed to hold me and I came out feeling not a 100% convinced. Apart from the many 'non-realistic' aspects of the film that previous comments speak of, it seemed loose and could have been much much slicker. The subject of the film was interesting and seemed to have plenty of potential.
This is probably my first Turkish film ever and I did not (at all) find the choice of actor for the role of Mehdi good. The actor seems to be an accomplished one but his face is comical and slapstick and an attempt is probably being made to induce laughter. His character too is slapstick and doesn't look like a serious effort.
All said and done..a good film but should probably be re-made.
