    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

    If you are not a Turkish!

    It is pretty normal that you might think that this film is overrated If you are not a Turkish!

    In order to understand the story, the reasoning, the logic of war between PKK terrorist group and old Turkish military (pretty weak compared to current times.) You should be familiar with Turkish history and culture.

    This film is not for you if you are looking for a WAR movie.

    The soldiers already know they are gonna die and they have no training at all. The movie DAG is a low quality demonstration the facts of old times' Turkey.

    Even if it is for Turkish audiance strictly , it is still not quality one. Totally overrated, It is like 6, nothing more.

    If you are interested a quality one that has kinda same story, check the movie '' NEFES'' This one the original one. Not a cheap copy like Dag movie.

    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!.

    Worth your time...

    "The Mountain" is a Drama - Thriller movie in which we follow two soldiers trying to survive after their team fell into a terrorist ambush on the peaks of a mountain. They have to cooperate and try very hard to survive.

    I found this movie very interesting because it had a mesmerizing plot and beautiful cinematography. The direction which was made by Alper Caglar who is also the writer was simply breathtaking and he succeeded on making the audience not only follow his main characters but also relate to them and what they have been through. The interpretations of both Caglar Ertugrul who played as Oguz and Ufuk Bayraktar who played as Bekir were very good and they both made the difference. Finally, I have to say that "The Mountain" is an interesting movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it.
