Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cüneyt Arkın was Turkey's biggest action star for decades; this was his swan song as a villain, flipping his heroic persona on its head.
The film draws heavily from classic Turkish 'mafia' cinema of the 70s, but filters it through modern Hong Kong action aesthetics—think Woo by way of the Bosphorus.
