Letzter Aufruf für Istanbul

A romantic takeoff during a warm New York summer sets the feel of this lovestory. The main characters are played by a turkish actor and actress in this turkisk production. Both actors are very good looking and very charming which makes this movie easy digest.

Beren Saat, an uncanny lookalike of Ellen Barkin and Linda Fiurentino, plays. Serin, a woman getting headwind in her creative design career but is confronted with a choice. Her co-actor Kivanç Tatlitug, a lookalike to Ricky Martin, plays Mehmet. A man also developing his career and also confronted with life choices.

Its very well made production, a classic cut I would say. The directing is satisfying, cinematography, photo, music and acting are all on point and not much to criticise. You get a genuine feel. Every character does a great job and its a movie easy to digest but not all uncomplicated. The story has some depth.

With that said, you will likely not cry or walk out of the theater like a new person. Its not a gamechanger but nice.

Funny thing I couldnt help but notice is how similar turkish sound to japaneese.

Yeah Im neither.

This is the most wannabe romance movie I've ever seen. All the while predictable, with many tasteless scenes (like on the street when she is stopped by people, or the competition scene)- none of them brought anything to the plot at all. I liked the theme of struggle with marriage and career goals, it is very current and a problem for many nowadays.

Now tell me why, WHY, do the two actors who are famous for their chemistry in Aski Memnu have NONE here. How did the directors manage to do that is beyond me. Kivanc is a much better actor now than he used to be, but this project... he's too good to be there. Beren's way of speaking made me want to jump out my skin, it was so juvenile and unlikable. She's usually a good actress, I don't know what happened.

I disliked the majority of the movie, except for the very last scene- no, of course I'm not talking about the most cliche airport reconciliation scene- instead, at the very end, they are both laughing over a lost suitcase I presume. I loved that scene, it's so realistic how exasperated they are, and it's genuinely funny.

Overall: this is a classic romance cliche film, don't get your expectations high just because the cast is strong.

It is more like a NewYork guide... to be honest I was not expecting such a light one esp. From Kivanc... I watched just to refreshen my NYC memories.. the story is very ordinary.. And how cool can one be with a lost luggage especially if her purse is also in?? Instead of going to the police, she makes a Chinatown tour!!

For a long time, Netflix is making very simple, low level productions.. I assume here they had to downgrade the potential and thats why we have such a simple movie.. I am really so disappointed because I thought finally there is sth to watch on Netflix! But all we have is a movie that I think any of us could have written!

I feel like people are disappointed by the movie because they expected a basic Turkish movie where there's extra drama and love, the movie tells a kind of a realistic story that people fall in love and lose their way sometimes but they find their way back to each other. And yes there were some bold clips the usaul fans aren't used to. But overall it was a lightweight romantic movie and I enjoyed it. Kivanc as usual is a talented actor no matter what the part is he can act the role very well. I think the fans had a huge expectations because they loved them in their previous series they wanted more for their role.

Watching the two attractive actors and nyc is enjoyable but beren's behaviors like "how sexy am l watch me" was distractful. I think she wanted to show the world herself. Ok you're beautiful but not so talented. Btw, is orgasm scene really necessary??? It was really cheesy. The lighting was also poor. At the some secenes we see the faces in shadow eyes. I was excited for watching this couple again but l couldn't find the feeling expected.

The plot is at the begining like "before sunrise" series, l like the way it is. Anyway you can watch it without too much expactation then you can enjoy maybe.
