Rancore

Recommended. New steps in Turkish movies. Good story, decent directing, impressive acting.

I watched it until the end because i hoped some things will get cleared then.

Hollywood could make a decent movie with it because some of the necessary pieces are there.

But it really made no sense at all or maybe it's cultural difference.

Don't watch it!

Don't understand the reviews of 1 for this movie, people must have watched an entirely different movie to me. It was what it was a revenge movie, it had a beginning a middle and and end, it was tightly directed and expected you to use your brain not be spoon fed. Not what I was expecting at all the when I found out about this movie. I'm a Turkish movie and series fanatic so I've seen many. This was up there with some of the best took me until more than 3/4 of the way through to figure out the who was doing what, I'm glad I spent my time watching it.

I can't remember seeing any Turkish movies but I'm sure I've seen a couple. Anyways, I thought this was great, in reality an 8.5. The story was unique (at least to me), interesting, and filled with lots of suspense and twists.

You have to suspend your disbelief a little extra as to why the lead didn't just tell the truth immediately since no one would've doubted him, but it's not such a big deal to get hung up on. And in the great words of Pitch Meetings, "it's so the movie can happen!" which was well worth it.

Probably in the top 3 of Netflix produced movies all year, which isn't exactly much since I find most of them highly lackluster.

Policemen as defector, rather than defender, of the law is a common theme of crime movies (particularly those from Hong Kong), therefore it's hardly any surprise or delight when watching GRUDGE (2021). The revenging sibling plot can be found in BLANK (2019), so the ending is kind of revealed in the first scene (To be frank, the original Turkish title "KIN" is a giveaway). Nevertheless, this movie is well-produced, with good acting, and not a bad choice if someone desires to enjoy a movie from Middle East.
