Kabadayi

Because of his son, a retired honest bully (Sener SEN) have to be against to young one (Kenan IMIRZALIOGLU). Ali Osman (Sener SEN) has chosen a peaceful life and started to wait death. But after an unexpected news from his old lover, he have to become a man he wouldn't like to be. As he struggle with desperate illness, he wants to safe his son from badness.

When you look at the subject choice, your expectation from the movie becomes too much.

Two performances differs from remainder of the film. Alive legend of Turkish cinema Sener SEN and shining star of that kind of movies Kenan IMIRZALIOGLU.

By the choice of better artists/actresses and dialogs, i think this movie could have been much more powerful and effective...

Kabadayi was made very close to Eskiya. After the success of Eskiya, I think Yavuz Turgul tried to catch an opportunity with the same concept. If he use different story, I bet he would signed a signature on better movie.

Sener Sen was artistic indeed, he can play every kind of character with an accomplishment. I got astonished with the performance of Kenan Imirzalioglu. I did not think that he would play successfully bad tempered characters, bu he proved that he could. As always Rasim Oztekin did great performance. Performances of Ismail Hacioglu, Asli Tandogan and Süleyman Turan were not on the attic, I can say that they were distributed in the middle level.

Typical from 1970's Turkish movies cliché's were used in Kabadayi. There were humor also in the body of the movie. When the action goes on, we can hear funny jokes from characters. That makes smoother the story.

On the whole Kabadayi is a good movie but do not build your expectations on the peek.

It's kind of like the Turkish Godfather. A very high quality production must be watched. There are no words to say to Kenan Imirzalioglu and Sener Sen. It was very nice.

Great actors in this movie just nailed me on my sit & carried my mind me to end of that.That last scene that almost made me cry. I still remember those strong phrases and mean-full looks. ..... .......... ....... ....... ....... ........ ..... ... ..... ............ ....... ......... ........ ....... ...... ..... ..... ..... .......................... ........ .... ....... ........ ..... ...................................... ........... ........... ....... ........... ..... .......................... ................. ......... ..... .... ..... ........ ........ ............... ......... ............ .............. ............... .................... ..... ........ ........ ......... ....... ....... .... ....... ................. ..... ....... ...... ....... ..... ............ ....... ..... ................. ......... ............... ................ ........ ...... ................. ....... ......... ............ ........... ..... ....................... ...... ....... ........ ......... ..... ......... ....... ..... .......

A beatiful Turkish movie. I suggest everybody to watch this movie if they like Turkish movies. You will see the old Turkish lifestyle and culture in this movie and very good performance of Sener Sen as always.
