Ultima chiamata per Istanbul

I don't wanna make a long review for this one. A basic love story, nothing interesting about the story itself but the circuitous storytelling makes it (a little bit) interesting at some point. To not give any spoilers I will not mention that part in detail but if you have already watched it you'll understand what i mean. Also I didn't like the parts set in New York. NY could be more detailed and involved because the movie is set in NY (like 90 percent of it). There could be some romantic scenes at NY, i mean like the couple having a picnic at the Central Park, hugging each other by the view of central park's lake... But as you can guess non of them is in the movie... Buttt our producers somehow wanted to have an orgasm and doggy sex scene instead of this beautiful romantic and heart warming scenes... Probably they wanted the movie to trend on social media because of this scenes so they can gain viewers and off course more money. I personally didn't comprehend the motivation of making such a move, 'cause movie already has two brilliant stars that pretty popular in Turkey. We haven't seen this two together for a while and they deserved to be in a better movie together. I don't think it's worth the hype for it...

These Turkish stars are not capable of acting in a western world. They fail miserably. Plus I can't even imagine how the Turkish audience will react. Doesn't play well here in America either. Poorly written and edited. Cheesy plot. Cannot believe that Netflix even bought it. What were they thinking? The male protagonist is popular in Turkey but in shows more befitting of the Turkish culture. Plus I would like to comment on the voiceover actors. They are quite simply terrible. They have no inflection in their voices and make the movie even worse. Having the location as New York does not make this movie appealing in any way.

This is the most wannabe romance movie I've ever seen. All the while predictable, with many tasteless scenes (like on the street when she is stopped by people, or the competition scene)- none of them brought anything to the plot at all. I liked the theme of struggle with marriage and career goals, it is very current and a problem for many nowadays.

Now tell me why, WHY, do the two actors who are famous for their chemistry in Aski Memnu have NONE here. How did the directors manage to do that is beyond me. Kivanc is a much better actor now than he used to be, but this project... he's too good to be there. Beren's way of speaking made me want to jump out my skin, it was so juvenile and unlikable. She's usually a good actress, I don't know what happened.

I disliked the majority of the movie, except for the very last scene- no, of course I'm not talking about the most cliche airport reconciliation scene- instead, at the very end, they are both laughing over a lost suitcase I presume. I loved that scene, it's so realistic how exasperated they are, and it's genuinely funny.

Overall: this is a classic romance cliche film, don't get your expectations high just because the cast is strong.

... attractive-actors, better than average production values & the city views are highlights of this romance-drama... a fantasy based story that half way through come's the one twist on which the entire plot-storyline of the movie rests... it would have gained one rating point had not the ending be so typical Hollywood

... appears mostly Christmas & romance films make up the bulk of viewing choices.. as they go, this one's not terrible, yet definitely not worth going out of your way to see... fits right in a Netflix lineup, satisfying audiences speaking the language, they are a worldwide entertainment-conglomerate after-all.

It is more like a NewYork guide... to be honest I was not expecting such a light one esp. From Kivanc... I watched just to refreshen my NYC memories.. the story is very ordinary.. And how cool can one be with a lost luggage especially if her purse is also in?? Instead of going to the police, she makes a Chinatown tour!!

For a long time, Netflix is making very simple, low level productions.. I assume here they had to downgrade the potential and thats why we have such a simple movie.. I am really so disappointed because I thought finally there is sth to watch on Netflix! But all we have is a movie that I think any of us could have written!
