Victims do not play well. First 20 minutes have almost no contribution to the movie. Violence is shown in its raw form. Evil side has better dialogues that are highly realistic. You can laugh even there is violence in scene, reactions are so natural. Character balance is not perfect, like Selim's story. But Nejat plays very well (actually he lives the role.) I could not empathize with the victims. One of my personal favorites but it may be better if they could use first 20-30 minutes better.

When the crime happened in a descent neighborhood of the capital city of Turkey, i was a university student in Ankara. We were all shocked, i remember the exact place of the crime. Years later, the movie came out. The true story is even worse than portrayed on the film. Brief, it is one of the best movie of turkish cinema history. I highly advise you to watch it, but be prepared for anxiety, violence and stress, like in Gaspar Nohe's Irreversable. The actors are well known turkish artists, mostly coming from drama theater and drama education.

The 2nd movie is not as good as the 1st one. It's a bad remake, very violent but rather empty and amateurish compared to this one. But still watchable.

Hard to abide the realism of this striking movie...

Not the blood and the excess violence but the pure reality of - how anybody do something like that to other- caused some of the audience leave the movie in the first half.

We have seen these kinds of headlines everyday in the third pages of newspapers (maybe not as barbaric as this) and get used to these kinds of savagery news. But to see this realism in a well-played and directed movie shocked the most movie goers.

These kinds of things is happening all around the world and makes the victims' whole life non-tolerable.

Thanks to Serdar Akar for his plain directing and also would like congratulate Serdar Orcin for his great play as a psychopath. One of my best in Turkish movies.

non-creative way of telling the story of violence of suburban youth in Turkey. No character is alive. They acts as in theater. There is endless violence without a cause or reason. Its main idea is that: "the judgment system is not enough for satisfying victims. Therefore they should use same violence to create justice" There should be revenge. And in this point, the victims become killers. Time mixing, giving role to famous directors (Zeki Demirkubuz, Cagan Irmak, and the director itself) can not keep away the film from being boring. It is excitement without excitement. The only creative idea is that while someone drinking tea or yogurt don't ask what time is it.

they think that if we show the violence in a different way we will be more creative ...but they do not respect to mother identity..and they don't want us to watch all the film because we couldn't stand it only one hour.... everyone left the place... No human being can afford to stay meanwhile those guys are having fun with the girls that will make you think if they were your girlfriends or anyone you know.We should not make producers think they are on the way to win with this film.We must think clearly that anywhere anything may happen to anyone but the way to be more conscious is not the way on this movie to watch.People that will be conscious by the help of the film are not much more than ones that will probably make those behaviours unconsciously or consciously on another people so this way is wrong to be object lesson
