Kivanc was absolutely amazing, amazing, amazing in this movie! As we all know, he is a very talented actor in Türkiye, and this film was just another proof of his remarkable skills. Kivanc has an undeniable charm and charisma that captivates audiences, pulling them into the world of the characters he portrays. His ability to deliver powerful, emotional performances has earned him a special place in the hearts of fans all over the world.

In this movie, Kivanc showcased his versatility as an actor, as he seamlessly transitioned between a wide range of emotions, from intense drama to light-hearted humor. His on-screen presence was magnetic, drawing viewers in and holding their attention throughout the entire film. With each role he takes on, Kivanc continues to expand his range and demonstrate his commitment to his craft.

The chemistry between Kivanc and his co-stars was palpable, creating a dynamic and engaging ensemble that kept the audience entertained and invested in the story. The film's director and crew did a fantastic job of bringing the story to life, with beautifully crafted scenes and a perfect balance of tension and emotion.

I enjoyed every minute of it kivanc is amazing But the end just waw I didn't expect that ending but it was sooooo good bravo. I really could feel the tension and kivanc was on a whole other level he is for sure the best Turkish actor and one of the best actors of all times respect for him and the actress who played his wife Plus it is not like anything we have ever seen before The suspense was there , they build up the story very wall , the plot twist was just mind blowing but still nothing illogical or made up fiction I highly advice everyone who likes mystery and unexpected endings to watch this film .

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 👍🏾

"Chokehold" is an interesting slow-burner with some fine thrilling elements that has everything to please its audience, yet it doesn't bring anything new to the genre neither manages to bring anything that can make viewers discussing much about it afterwards. Thanks to the critical character played by Kivanç Tatlitug is that keep ourselves slightly glued to the screen just wanting to know how he's gonna solve all the problems he causes or are thrown upon him. The guy is like a magnet to attract problems, and he always needs to be quick on his wits to find ways and means to solve everything.

Tatlitug plays a Yalin, a businessman involved in some shady scheme in Istanbul that he needs to retreat himself and his wife (Funda Eryigit) to a distant location area in the Aegean area to avoid conflicts as the charges against him are pending in court. Peace and quiet cannot be found since all the locals know exactly who he is - some because he lived there during his childhood and his father is a wealthy man; others know him because of the finantial scandal they think he caused upon them, and because all of that he needs to find ways to fight for his life, becoming a hunted man, but he also needs to assure his wife that everything's under control and they can live quietly.

Story keeps a very slow manner, everything keeps unfolding in a quiet manner and the more we discover about Yalin, our hero initially, the more we find out he's not all that good a person. Surely, the violence can be excused in a way since he's just defending himself from the vicious attacks he suffers, but one may wonder if he's all that innocent from the crimes they said he committed with his company, why he never manages to say anything for himself, or try some argument?

Through the whole ordeal, he just run away and hide until the breaking point comes and murder becomes the sollution.

I went in without much expectations yet I was satisfied with most of what I've seen. The way Yalin's scandal is treated is interesting for the time being, since it's a frequent thing that's always on the news, and to mix that with a revenge from those he harmed makes up an interesting concept. The few obstacles that prevent "Chokehold" in becoming better than it is comes from some less realistic elements, implausible moments or some lack of following things through (lousy police work and there's no way it could be said they fail on purpose. Script error indeed). And there are so many elements that could be added into the mix, to make Yalin's crusade something even more dangerous could be included yet the script fails for not spicing things up, for the benefit of a story that has many good things to show, yet it makes things all a little too simple.

It's a fine thriller that can also works as a dramatic character study about a pathological liar who lies so well and so good that everybody belives in him.

But knowing he can't escape himself and neither others for too long, that challenge is more difficult to solve than all the web of lies, hurt and deception he left all the way behind him. Is there actually a way out? 6/10.

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!
