Very good shooting but poor story!
14 November 2009
I was very interested in this movie, because it seemed like a Turkish propaganda movie. After all this American propaganda movies I was excited about a Turkish one. The film is about a soldier unit up on a mountain top, defending it against the PKK terrorist organization. It starts very well, very good acting and tough. It revealed real moments of military service and the truth about the danger up their. The shooting and screening is perfect. Didn't expect to see this level of quality in a Turkish movie, but the story, which started very good, ends very bad. After the first half of the movie, it shows too much of the captains emotions. Even though the goal of this movie is to show the emotional side of the soldiers, but this was just too much and it ruined the whole movie. This could have been just a perfect Turkish movie. The director tried to implement several messages to the Turkish - pkk conflict, saying we're all the same etc. but in one point it got unreal. Very good work, but still not good enough. Worth seeing though!
