Letzter Aufruf für Istanbul

These Turkish stars are not capable of acting in a western world. They fail miserably. Plus I can't even imagine how the Turkish audience will react. Doesn't play well here in America either. Poorly written and edited. Cheesy plot. Cannot believe that Netflix even bought it. What were they thinking? The male protagonist is popular in Turkey but in shows more befitting of the Turkish culture. Plus I would like to comment on the voiceover actors. They are quite simply terrible. They have no inflection in their voices and make the movie even worse. Having the location as New York does not make this movie appealing in any way.

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!

... attractive-actors, better than average production values & the city views are highlights of this romance-drama... a fantasy based story that half way through come's the one twist on which the entire plot-storyline of the movie rests... it would have gained one rating point had not the ending be so typical Hollywood

... appears mostly Christmas & romance films make up the bulk of viewing choices.. as they go, this one's not terrible, yet definitely not worth going out of your way to see... fits right in a Netflix lineup, satisfying audiences speaking the language, they are a worldwide entertainment-conglomerate after-all.

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.

The feelings the actor and the actress expected to show do not match the main flow. You miss the sensations; they cannot reflect. Movie starts with a woman who puts her wallet and cell phone into her luggage and luggages are mixed at the airport. The audience is expected to follow everything with this beginning. One asks why someone puts her purse and especially cell phone in her luggage ona very long flight; actually at any flight. Then, other hard-to-believe scenes make you loose your connection with reality. K Tatlitug's performance is a bit better; however way worse than his previous movies.
