Powerful and disturbing thriller
ereinion13 November 2008
This is a brutal and disturbing thriller. Irfan Mensur plays a man who cheats on his wife and loves to play chess. His wife is brutally raped by three men on a train while he is in another part of the train playing chess with an old man. When he gets there the rapists are gone, and his wife screams at him that he's never there when she needs him and jumps out of the train, killing herself. Crushed and filled with guilt he seeks revenge and starts to investigate, with greater difficulties. Nobody seems to have been around when the rape took place and his companion at the chess table offers no help either. But slowly the pieces fall together and a disturbing truth is revealed.

Irfan Mensur is brilliant in the role of guilt stricken and revenge-hungry man. It is a dark and dramatic film which also has a few violent scenes, especially the climax is full of brutality when Mensur settles the score with the rapists. It has a few surprising twists, as when we find out the identity of the rapists. All in all, a pretty interesting film but also a very dark and brutal one.
