With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for fans of a good revenge story and people who like their stories at full throttle. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Liked True Grit or The Mask of Zorro? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 25 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1969: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
Memed is a fugitive with a sole purpose to find and execute bandits in the mountains to avenge the death of his wife. One day he saves a woman from the hands of bandits…
