With a touch of Chandler
Good or bad
Who are we to judge, yes? So no pun intended as always. This may be the first of a trilogy ... or is it more? I only know there will be a third one, because Netflix told me after I finished the sequel! This begins quite interestingly .. action followed by ... some drama. We get thrown into the whole thing. And we feel for our male main character. Well I would hope we do (I do, I mean everyone else).
Of course him being of a certain age and having a past relationship ... beginning a new one ... with someone way younger than himself. It may sound a bit like male fantasy ... but the problems he has to endure .. not so much things one wants to have to worry about. Well told, even if I reckon it could be a bit tighter overall. 10 days in 2 hours .. another 10 days ahead ... (and another)
Excellent Turkish Crime Movie
Iyi Adamin 10 Gunu is a wonderful crime movie. It's a better "hardboiled criminal fiction" film than anything else in the Raymond Chandler canon. There are numerous allusions to Chandler and his famous investigator, Philip Marlowe. The story of Mehmet Eroglu takes this style to Istanbul, Turkey. The movie follows a common yet multilayered plot that introduces us to a variety of complex individuals, local concerns, crooked lawyers, local mobsters, illegal immigrants, violence, love, justice, human traffickers, sex workers, and freaks. Gorgeous Istanbul scenes set the tone for the story. The characters and performances, as well as the story's consistency, are excellent. Putting them together results in an excellent crime movie. We are lucky because it is the first movie of a trilogy.
