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
I am writing the review again as somehow my old review written in 2012 got deleted.
This film is jus like any action film which shud jus be enjoyed for its awesome action sequences.
I first saw this in 2012 on a dvd which i own.
Revisited it recently.
Its like Rambo on steroids.
Of course the body count aint anywhere close to Rambo 4.
The gun firing sequences r awesomely shot. The bombings, the chase, the mini war like sequence is top notch.
Action fans will rejoice. Some haters r finding it unbelievable that an elite group of only four soldiers wreak havoc on a sadist military group.
And the same group of haters rejoice when Bond, Xander Cage, Ethan Hunt, Rambo, etc. Single handedly take on huge armies.
Havent seen any of its prequel or sequel but looking forward to Valley of the Wolves : Homeland, as the trailer is awesome.
Mind you, this film is not against Jews or Israel.
It is jus an action film about one group of soliders taking on another group.
I jus enjoyed the action.

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.....

This is a great Turkish movie, but still got lot of goofed flaws and holes:
1) The Israeli thug called Moshe was shot directly into his right eye by a 9mm bullet could still be survived? And he could get up right away after his eye was sewn together. So where was the bullet? So the bullet just stopped right at his eyeball and didn't penetrate further into his brain? How could it be possible this murdering thug recovered so soon and got no brain damage at all? Is he blessed by the so-called God? if so, the God should never let him been shot in the first place.
2) Shot a Israeli jeep with so many shots, but there were no bullet holes on the windshield when they took over the jeep, not even a scratch. Well, even an heavy armored car would have been so scratch free.
3) The 3 Turkish commando and their Palestinian comrade invaded the Israeli's control command center, then just threw two bundled dynamites to blow up what? Desks, chairs and some monitors? How could a well trained Turkish commando guy do such amateurish work? Why he didn't blew up the computer center?
4)When they blew open the security door and disrupted the power, how could it be possible when the Moshe thug came into the control center could still use the computer?
There are so many many flaws in this otherwise action-packed movie. Those actors who played the killers on both sides, didn't need any talent to perform convincingly in this movie, the endless firefight actions would only them to shoot to kill. One-sided, some viewers complained? Who doesn't and didn't? Because anything from different angle to look at by different people, races, religion, the occupants, the occupied...everybody got the right to tell their own stories. It's not one-sided at all; so if you think it's one-sided, it only means that you've already chosen one side you preferred to look at certain things, such as, well, this movie, it is you who are one-sided. All the Christians loves Jesus and believe in God, but they hate the people who invented the God and where the Jesus came from. Another identity theft and one-sided proof.

First of all I should like to congratulate players, director, producer and other staff and Pana Film those who put so much work in this movie. It almost grabs Hollywood peer's standards with regard to action and engage scenes. It encourages Turkish movie sector. It hits the perception that The Turkish movies have poor quality once the Bollywood's had the same. Bollywood has improved its quality for ten years and is just about second movie industry around the globe. With this movie I am convinced from now on that Turks will be able to produce more quality movies.
Staff paid attention every details that is not likely to expected average Turkish movie. Action and engage scenes are so fine. Sound was great. Frankly I expected to see somewhat longer version of series broadcast on TV.
Finally, I must tell this as a tank expert: Mr. Alemdar you cannot drive and fire Merkava at the same time which did Rambo the same mistake in Afghanistan and at least should have send Memati or Abdülhey to driver section :)

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