Çiçero

It is a very compelling story of a historical person who played an important role in Ankara during second war. The casting of Erdal Besikcioglu and Burcu Biricik deserves 8/10 rating. Co-acting cast is definitely at 5/10 rating. The movie sounds as if it had a bug during the sound mixage. There is an echo during dialogues and we even asked Movie Theater if the problem is with their sound system. They rechecked and confirmed that it is the original playback. Also some shooting places are not so realistic and it feels like it is shot in a studio environment.

Another example of this producer has no problem with COMPLETELY altering the past. Just like he did with Ayla too. Besides; Erdal Besikcoglu is as good as always. I can't tell the same thing for the dubbings of the movie.

The dubbings made me feel like i'm watching something from seventies.

Still alright though.

At least this film tries to keep the audience guessing...maybe. Deeply emotionally in war scenes. This film is tricky because the lead actor (a spy) is actually trying to keep a country out of WW II. This comes through only after the fact of the action...kind of unique to say the least. The back story romance is kind of the usual in a war movie, so nothing unique there. Overall the story was interesting, even if unorthodox in the telling. This movie fills the void of history how the Ottoman empire remained neutral during WWII. Apparently history did not repeat itself because of one man's efforts to keep Turkey neutral, or so the story goes.

I broke 3 stars because the film isn't historically accurate.

The movie is at least 8/10. I have no idea why is it so underrated. I wouldn't really say anything bad about the movie. The costumes and scenes are very beautiful. Actors and actresses were really brilliant. Hopefully, this will get the attention it deserves and we'll have more movies like this one because our history is full of interesting stories to tell.
