Worth watching it
18 November 2010
Five Minarets in New York is a Turkish action which follows two Turkish police officers who are sent to New York to bring back the Dajjal.

Although there are a few logical mistakes in the movie, I believe it is still worth watching. This is the first Turkish movie that is much more professional in terms of its casts and direction than other Turkish movies.

If Mahsun Kirmizigul and Mustafa Sandal were not in the cast but instead replaced by real actors who would actually act, this movie could be more satisfying in terms of acting. I think Mahsun Kirmizigul and Mustafa Sandal should stop acting from now on and go back to their real professions which is singing.

Even though, Mahsun Kirmizigul's acting was poor, the scenario was not that bad, yet the messages that Mahsun was trying to convey were all classics. Most people were expecting to hear something different rather than hearing that all Muslims are not terrorists.

There are also good things about this movie. The soundtracks are really very good and reflects the feeling of the scene. Other than its soundtracks, the shooting is very successful. Except Mahsun and Mustafa, everyone else is acting great.
