Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
adonis98-743-186503 The epic adventures of the legendary Baran the Bandit following his release from prison. After serving 35 years, it is no surprise that the world has changed dramatically. Eskiya is a Turkish 1996 drama and to be honest it's really not that good and i'm very disappointed to see how many actually bad films are inside the list of the Top 250 films of all time. The movie has a storyline that i wasn't attracted to, the characters and the acting was not good and worst of them all? It needed to be lower on it's running time cause it really wasn't special.

lyre This is a movie which clearly takes itself very seriously. Unfortunately, non-Turkish viewers will be left wondering what the point was.It's long, slow, mawkish, melodramatic, clichéd, hackneyed and silly at turns.The main character is apparently some noble mountain bandit, who is perhaps a well-known figure in Turkish mythology, but for someone not familiar with the back story, he's not particularly compelling.The secondary character who becomes his sort of adopted son, is a blow-hard, foolish, boring drug-dealing low-level would-be gangster.None of the relationships are the slightest bit compelling, and the Bandit's behavior is odd but not particularly interesting.The ending does contain some fireworks (literally), but the foolishness of the plot, the shallowness of the characters, the poor special effects (red paint instead of even slightly believable blood), and the long-winded slowness of the movie make it barely watchable and completely unnecessary.Perhaps some insights into the Turkish psyche can be obtained by watching this stinker. After all, they seem to think it's a great movie so something about it must move them.But if you're looking for artistic cinema, or even a bit of entertainment, look elsewhere.
cgyford Award-winning Turkish director and screenwriter Yavuz Turgul ("Muhsin Bey" & "Gölge oyunu") achieved his greatest international success to date with this self-penned crime-drama which picked up a 1997 Bogey Award and the Golden Dolphin at the 1998 Festroia International Film Festival.Golden Orange award-winning character actor Şener Şen puts in a powerful central performance in his fifth collaboration with the director as does Uğur Yücel "Muhsin Bey" in his second collaboration, Sermin Şen in her third and newcomers to the ensemble Yesim Salkim and Kamran Usluer.The highly regarded filmmaker tells an epic character driven drama on an epic scale and although the story does seem to get a little lost in the long drawn out central drag it all comes back together for a powerful and moving denouement that celebrates a type of hero all too rarely seen on the Turkish screen.Maybe, maybe that bee will be me.
