Excellent content simple visuals,
Film in the fact that it contains so many posts. The beginning of the chain of command for the two soldiers remain, to ask for help, but help prevent ... cooked kitten martyrs .. etc etc etc ... yes the movie was a bit simple, but as one of the military service and was engaged as one of the east, I can say, and managed to become the film's visual beauty of the film they want to tell. I cherish the memories of watching a movie, and if it came to the film ... Monitoring that do not understand anything, because the military dialogs. Turkey has many years of terror. Thousands of soldiers were killed in this battle. Mother cried all the time. This film tells the little terror in the country. Have a good time ...
Decent Low-Budget War Drama With a Caveat
Full Review on my blog max4movies: Dag is a good example for an efficient war movie, as only few locations, characters, and action scenes are featured. By creating an impressive scenery, the movie does give the viewer a sense of the dread the two main characters are facing. It's basically an independent movie, shot on a low budget with a small crew, and amateur actors; the lack of production values often shows and the actors often don't carry the more complex scenes. Generally, though, the characters are authentic and relatable, and the dialogues are mostly well-written. Together with the amazing scenery and the decent pacing, this makes for a worthwhile experience. However, the viewer should keep the nationalist perspective in mind.

Realistic and Violent
A very good film combining excitement and emotional depth at the same time. It is made with a different style to most Turkish films where the happenings are the most important thing than the style or melodrama. It can be considered American in the way the story occurs. Ufuk Bayraktar gives an incredible performance, you forget you are watching a film when he is on the screen and this helps to give importance to the bad situation they are about to go through. The director is talented and he can play with your mental states easily. One moment you laugh, and the next you cry, and even though the film is smaller than usual in hits you if you can empathy with characters.
In recent years Turkish cinema produces some very different and important films proving that the entire film sector here is going in a different direction with its next generation people. This is one of those films totally different than what we are used to, and very ambitious in what it tries to do. 9 out of 10

Dag
The theme of the story is very good, and the technique of expression is also very good. However, the integrity of the story, the lack of background introduction, the success of the film in showing the fighting quality of the special forces, but the lack of attention to the local humanitarian crisis, and the inability to build a great mountain of spiritual quality. The inner play is very rich, but it's easy for people to play by interspersed memories!.
