    a mediocre film with a very sad yet true background !

    most people find this movie one sided it is ......... which war based movie isn't ??? p.s it is just as one sided as the reality is ... even the death toll of Palestinian children is more than Israeli army !! the movie is based on the same reality with a lot of amateur filming mistakes and definitely can not be compared to any Hollywood movie with remotely as high budget as of this movie, the action could have been made a lot better than what was shown in the movie... still it was a good movie !this movie certainly shows one thing that Turkish film industry can produce good movies. i'd certainly recommend to see this movie to everyone

    cheap script produced with a super-high budget

    I think if someone wanted to write a script without using his/her brain, he or she would be able to write something no worse than this one. I give it a 5 out of 10. 5 for its production value which is stunning for a Turkish action movie ,and 0 for having nothing else but action. Unfortunately movies need a story to be shot, but this one was shot only for its action scenes. Someone compares this with Munich in way probably you would compare a cucumber to a peach... The conclusion I drew from the movie is that KVF is a cruel exploitation of a real tragedy. Because the situation there is a human issue rather than simply good vs evil. Beware this movie's ill-ideology (being oppressed justifies violent actions),and enjoy it bearing this in mind that it is nothing more than a movie made to fill some people's pockets.

    Another terrible antisemeitic movie

    The first 5 minutes of the movie wasn't bad... then as soon as I saw 3 goofballs walking around the streets of Jerusalem wanting to appear like mafiosi, my worst nightmare has come to reality: Another Turkish dream made semi-real on television. Definitely not worth watching; this movie makes Steven Segal seem like god of action movies. Firstly, 100% of all Jewish characters in the movie (and not 0.1% under) appear as evil, cruel, and inhuman. The director must have put those "touching" scenes on purple to make viewers have sympathy on the villagers and Palestinians. The entire point of this movie is to make the Jews appear as the villains; maybe the director needs a history lesson. Secondly, let's just imagine for a second that humans can fly and these events in the movie were true... a little reality please? 3 guys (not to mention they look moreorless like traffic cops) managed to take over the streets of Israel and literally bombard their way in Mossad headquarters: very pathetic. A lot more effort on that behalf is still not enough to cover the ridiculousness. Thirdly, and this relates closely to my second point: Israeli soldiers (IDF) are the most skilled militiamen in the world. A couple hundred of them managed to get killed by 3 cops from a 3rd world country, and not to mention one of them is shot in the leg, and in the arm by a lethal bullet specifically designed with chemicals inside. The Moshe character was supposed to be killed the instant the chemical got in his eye.

    I can say a fourth, fifth, a sixth and even a seventh note and possibly more regarding this movie, but why bother waste my time and yours. Concluding my summary, I somehow found this to be more of a comedy than drama. Let the Turks enjoy their dreams, we expect many more to come on television, and I look forward for another one of them Turkic comedies!

    Political, Action, Revenge, Movie

    First time I have (knowingly) watched a Turkish movie. Regardless of bias claims, inaccuracy bleating, and all the rest from various reviews, I found this to be a gripping, fast moving spectacle as good as anything out of Hollywood, and approaching in style anything from the French action/thriller genre.

    The heroes were just that, despite the violence, and it is about time that some one other than Americans, British, and possibly the French, were portrayed as super-skilled warriors. Anti-Semitic? No way, the heroine is Jewish. Pro Palestinian? Why not? These people are treated like dirt by occupying invaders with apparent impunity on the world stage.

    For me, this was as riveting as Black Hawk Down or The Kingdom, with a setting and backdrop as good as the actual movie itself. Inconsistencies only serve to highlight issues and prompt further investigation for a more balanced view.

    I have given 7/10 because the ending is a bit abrupt, otherwise it would have got 8 or even.....

    Revenge on Screen ?

    When an Elite Israeli special force team hit a humanitarian ship that was headed to Gaza (Palestinian) in International waters middle in the night with helicopters, 9 civilians were killed during heavy Israeli fire. All members of the boat were civilians, unarmed (not counting the sticks and kitchen knives) compared to the heavy artillery the Israeli soldiers had.

    It created an enormous event in the Middle East; the media was all over it, especially in Turkey which has led to a political conflict between two countries.

    The producers and creators of Kurtlar Vadisi (Valley of the Wolves) and the franchises of the series had announced to produce a movie which will tell the story of what happened that night. It was critically acclaimed so to say in the Middle East and released internationally. I'm one of the lucky ones who could watch this movie in Germany, which was first banned by FSK (Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle Filmwirtschaft) for accused violence and political reasons. After an appeal the film was released for audience above the age of 18.

    For those who have watched "Munich" before the story line what expects you is pretty much the same. 11 Israeli athletes were killed in 1972 during the Olympics in Munich and an Israeli special team was assembled to get revenge and kill the responsible ones for the attack.

    In this movie you have the same element: Polat Alemdar and his men are going to find the persons responsible of the attack on the humanitarian ship, and punish them.

    It brings the drama in Palestinian to screen; innocent killing and conflicts in Gaza. I myself found the level of violence and killing in some scene rather unnecessary. Avoiding some political references and lines would have made this movie lot better.

    There were no obvious and bothering political messages in Munich, despite some of critics described the movie as an "Israeli propaganda movie". If you think the same as I am, you will not have a problem watching this movie.

    Let me remind you it's not a 100 million dollar movie. It has a big budget compared to the production in the Middle East but you will see the difference in production and some authenticity flaws if you compare it to American blockbusters.

    • Trivia
      The civilian ship that's raided by the army carried out on the orders of General Ben Eliezer is based on the real life Israeli raid of the Marvi Marmara Gaza Freedom Flotilla in 2010. The Marvi Marmara was filled with both international, Palestinian and Turkish aid volunteers and peace activists bringing much needed medical supplies and construction materials to Gaza in hopes of also breaking the Israeli blockade of Gaza. The Marmara was raided by Israeli Army as it reached Gaza's shores which led to the death of 9 aid volunteers mostly Turkish and the arrests of the crew and the remaining volunteers.

      Moshe was shot in the eye. At the range he is depicted as being shot from, the bullet should have penetrated.
