Last Call for Istanbul

It is more like a NewYork guide... to be honest I was not expecting such a light one esp. From Kivanc... I watched just to refreshen my NYC memories.. the story is very ordinary.. And how cool can one be with a lost luggage especially if her purse is also in?? Instead of going to the police, she makes a Chinatown tour!!

For a long time, Netflix is making very simple, low level productions.. I assume here they had to downgrade the potential and thats why we have such a simple movie.. I am really so disappointed because I thought finally there is sth to watch on Netflix! But all we have is a movie that I think any of us could have written!

I feel like people are disappointed by the movie because they expected a basic Turkish movie where there's extra drama and love, the movie tells a kind of a realistic story that people fall in love and lose their way sometimes but they find their way back to each other. And yes there were some bold clips the usaul fans aren't used to. But overall it was a lightweight romantic movie and I enjoyed it. Kivanc as usual is a talented actor no matter what the part is he can act the role very well. I think the fans had a huge expectations because they loved them in their previous series they wanted more for their role.

This is the most wannabe romance movie I've ever seen. All the while predictable, with many tasteless scenes (like on the street when she is stopped by people, or the competition scene)- none of them brought anything to the plot at all. I liked the theme of struggle with marriage and career goals, it is very current and a problem for many nowadays.

Now tell me why, WHY, do the two actors who are famous for their chemistry in Aski Memnu have NONE here. How did the directors manage to do that is beyond me. Kivanc is a much better actor now than he used to be, but this project... he's too good to be there. Beren's way of speaking made me want to jump out my skin, it was so juvenile and unlikable. She's usually a good actress, I don't know what happened.

I disliked the majority of the movie, except for the very last scene- no, of course I'm not talking about the most cliche airport reconciliation scene- instead, at the very end, they are both laughing over a lost suitcase I presume. I loved that scene, it's so realistic how exasperated they are, and it's genuinely funny.

Overall: this is a classic romance cliche film, don't get your expectations high just because the cast is strong.

Watching the two attractive actors and nyc is enjoyable but beren's behaviors like "how sexy am l watch me" was distractful. I think she wanted to show the world herself. Ok you're beautiful but not so talented. Btw, is orgasm scene really necessary??? It was really cheesy. The lighting was also poor. At the some secenes we see the faces in shadow eyes. I was excited for watching this couple again but l couldn't find the feeling expected.

The plot is at the begining like "before sunrise" series, l like the way it is. Anyway you can watch it without too much expactation then you can enjoy maybe.

This movie is unlike any Turkish production most of us would have seen. And it might not be appealing for everyone in the Middle East as it is a romcom with a woman who is highly unapologetic bold and assertive in her explicit intentions. Acting of the male character is good. And the woman is not bad, but her behaviour especially is quite scandalous. The way she carries herself with the guy is remarkable and will make people frown more then a few times... The opposite way around (him chasing her that way) in today's standard would not be accepted.

Who should watch this, hard to say, but initially it will probably be progressive people or those that watch the movie from an adult entertainment perspective. As the movie progresses somehow it picks up and get into a more realistic story. Which is worth finishing.

STORY: A woman and a stranger connect of the lost suitcase on New York City airport. After both expression that they are married, the women shows up for drinks in a skimpy glitter dress and speaks out that her marriage is boring and that she wants to have fun with the man. What follows is a night out with drinks and her winning a saucy contest which is filmed for social media...

As the movie progresses, It is strongly recommended to keep watching

ANALSYS The story on itself is not that shocking, but the way the female characters goes about having fun outside of her marriage is really what makes it a bit of an uncomfortable watch. In real life, many men would not like this approach, but it is better the watch the movie until the end before judging. It is a movie that one probably will remember in parts.

DECOR / STAGING / VISUALS / EDITING It all looks very good and professional. The scenes are beautifully captured and the editing is smooth. Technically this is great movie. And the scenes all look great. Aesthetically the movie looks good, including the main characters, they look like a flaming couple.

SCREENPLAY Acting is good, initially the director mainly choose for good looks, later dialogue becomes more prominent. Side characters are a bit theatrical.
