Suspense-Slowburn-Plottwist

First of all the movie is very slow and most of the scenes consist of Yalin (Kivanc) being paranoid. He basically forked a lot of people over by stealing their money and he actually got away with it. So naturally Turkish people, being extra spitefull and triggered, have to have their revenge.

The funny thing is that even the police tells Yalin that the whole village will be hunting him down and that they will not help him. And that is basically the summary of the movie: angry village people trying to kill Yalin amd how he deals with it.

The suspence scenes are good. Eventhough there are a lot of unecesseray scenes Kivanc and Funda's acting remains well-round. The ending has a plottwist that tries to invite the viewers to a discussion about the power of money in Turkey.

Summary of the hypocrisy of our society...

It is one of those movies that will be loved or not loved at all. Although the beginning and the course do not seem to give the expected, it is a movie full of social message content that gets better from the middle to the end. Onur Saylak, who has beautifully scripted the hypocrisy of our society was great again. Could have been a 10/10 movie if he could get out of the series format a little more. Colors, camera angles and images are very very successful. He summed up in an instructive way that money is above ethical values. Kivanc Tatlitug and Funda Eryigit remind us many times that they are among the best actors in this country. Watchable ??

Very good movie!

When you check the ratings in here, it's obvious that many people did not understand message. Its a great movie to show how our recent society is prisoning themselves. The dog at the end of the movie is the guardian of the hell gates. Good scenario amazing acting as usual by Kivanc Tatlitug. The movie are for those who loves slow but good ending movie that's leaves a lot of thoughts about life and society. I recommend to everyone to watch this without considering the rating of audience! Turkish cinema is as usual great. Amazing pictures and amazing acting and amazing message. Thanks for everyone for such a great movie!
