New York'ta Bes Minare (2010)
He is giving his messages assuming the viewer is an idiot...
I almost always choose saying "I don't like it" instead of "it's bad"... However, I'm not going to hesitate saying awful for this movie! Unfortunately, this is worse than awful and definitely overrated. Mahsun Kirmizigul, Turkish arabesque singer-turned-movie director, is not even close to be a story teller. I'm pretty sure so many Turkish people rated this movie around 6-10, just because of some big words spoken in the movie. Two brave Turkish cops versus FBI agents, and some big words, blah blah blah, no doubt this movie flattered some sort of ego. But my friends, these things does not make a movie good! There are so many fine actors in this movie, and they all wasted. Mahsun's terrible story telling awkwardly wastes your time. Dialogues are written like for a primary school stage play, connections between the scenes, well.. there are no connections. Mahsun's worries about giving social messages is exactly at the same level as his other movies "I Saw the Sun" and "The White Angel"... Unfortunately he is giving these messages assuming the viewer is an idiot. If this movie is one of the first Turkish movies you've ever seen, please don't give up. Try some other Turkish directors, especially Yavuz Turgul, Cagan Irmak...
Av Mevsimi (2010)
Hel-Loo!! Compare the budget with Hollywood...
First of all, any person would rate or comment on this movie should understand that Hunting Season is not a $100+ million budget movie, or even $10 million! These men had only $4 million to spend on every single detail. Even so, regardless its tiny budget comparing to many Hollywood movie, this one is much more better than numerous Hollywood made. Brilliant director Yavuz Turgul's Hunting Season is really a great alternative for those people looking for something different. Also, this movie puts best Turkish actors all together. If Sener Sen, Cem Yilmaz and even Cetin Tekindor were born in the US, they would be world famous actors, and no doubt Sener Sen would be awarded Best Actor Oscar more than once...
