No Kurdish movie comes even close to the uniqueness of this one! The writers have nailed it with the fast going and full of events script that gives you the adrenaline rush to keep you on the edge of your seat to the end. The cinematography is outstanding, Hollywood quality! i was stunned by how pretty some shots were. The action scenes and guns sound effects are not quite John Wick, but close! never seen a kurdish, arabic or persian movie with such amazing fighting scenes.
The acting was just as good as everything else, Zhalla(Liza) had me fooled to believe she was brought up as an actor in Hollywood, Mahir & Shwan again proved they can adapt to any role given to them. (Jan & Aram) did excellent with their roles too.
It's without doubt to say everyone involved in this movie has pushed their limits to give us this sensation. my highest gratitude is for Mr.Bakhtyar Fatah, the mind behind it all.
so here's my humble criticisms on the movie:
* This is a very short movie and the idea of a second movie has made them exclude many things we want to know in the first movie, like who Dr.Alan is and what is his story? what is his wife's disease? atleast a simple clue about the Band, who are they and what they do with the kedneys? Sara and Aram? they should've reached something between themselves, and more.
* The Dialogue wasn't bad, but nor good either. it felt like a dubbed movie in 2 or 3 places which puts you off a little bit.
* The truth of Dr.Alan's crimes came to light quickly, which revealed the bone of the plot very soon, i wish Alan was in his comfort zone for a longer time, this way the story could be a nice mystery too.
Book me a ticket for the second movie already!
