Kurak Gunler, which literally translates as "Arid Days" in Turkish, is an extraordinary psychological / political suspense movie that I watched without breathing from the very beginning to the last minute. If we can still be so deeply affected by the events that take place in this film despite all the shame and disgrace we have experienced in the last 20 years, it means there is still hope for this country.

The suspense continues until the end of the movie, also with the help of great soundtrack and perfect acting performances, especially by the talented young Turkish actor, sweet Selahattin Pasali.

My only disappointment about the movie was the end was not very hopeful, which we need more than ever nowadays...

I truly enjoyed this movie even though I am an atheist myself and I think such supernatural stories are total nonsense. Furthermore, I even sided with Father Moore and his female lawyer throughout the movie. The cast was superb including the ones playing small roles. I was especially impressed by Jennifer Carpenter who is playing Emily Rose in the movie. Her scenes were really scary even for someone like me who does not believe in things like demons and such. Laura Linney was also very credible as the ambitious lawyer. The atmosphere of the movie was also very well-made so as to possess the audience from the first minute to the end.

The movie should be called "Elvis reincarnated". Austin Butler is the greatest thing in the movie and undoubtedly deserves an Oscar prize. The movie itself is really good too, but I really did not like the story revolving too much around his manager, and showing Elvis as a his puppet, which I think is not true. Watching him on his famous live TV show I think Elvis was very intellectual, self confident man. Austin is so good that he didn't need even Tom hanks in this one. I'd rather they had concentrated on his affairs with Pricilla instead, maybe with a more famous actress playing the role for the sake of box office success. Still very good though. Do not miss it..
