No escape when it comes to my puns you say? It may be something different, but you'll have to watch the movie to know, so no pun intended. The title, the original one sounds a bit strange to say the least. Kind of dubious in a way. Kind of something you have to figure out - like the main character. Do you feel for him, having lost so much - or are you more sympathetic with the "others"? As the movie progresses you will know - actually some may be able to figure it a lot sooner than others.

If you like dramas with great performances, that deliver on ambiguity as well ... well you could choose worse than this movie right here. The movie may leave you with a lot of feelings, not all with a positive vibe ... you'll have to be aware of that and everything will be good ... well maybe not everything...

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 👍🏾

Definitely a noirish film, not one I could appreciate. I am curious about the writer and what other movies he has written. The main charactor was not the aggresser in his bad deeds, he was just defending himself; except in the end. That was a shock! Interesting how the writer wanted us to know that money talks and can forgive bad deeds. Watching films of locations where I have traveled is always rewarding. The actor is talented and very good looking although they protrayed him as bedraggled and certainly not walking a runway. As I am writing this, I have gone from a 2 star rating to a 7. Just because it was not my cup of tea, I should be fair and reasonable.

I keep questioning myself is it worth to watch this movie? Well... Why not?

This is a movie that can be classified in the thriller movies genre. In some scenes, it really gives you goosebumps and makes the tension feel at a high level, especilally in the second part of the movie. The actors make the audience feel this tension at a very high level, especially Kivanc Tatlitug in leading role as Yalin Bey.

We're experiencing another great and also extraordinary scenery from Hakan Gunday mind. But that's the all surprise that the movie could give to audince. I don't wanna spoil too much about the scenery of the movie but there are two "shoking" scene in this movie. One of is right after the beginning of the movie and other one is in the finale. Yeah, and that's all. There is nothing else that can make you take your eyes off the screen. The nature is good. Camera shoots are allright. That's the all. Nothing more and nothing less that you can find in this movie.

It's an unusual movie among the other Turkish movies. The acting and the script are quite out of the ordinary.

I hope we can see more movies coming from the minds of Gunday and Saylak 'cause we really need to see but I believe it should be better than this.
