IDAMLIK marks another classic collaboration between director Cetan Inanc and star Cuneyt Arkin, this time around a tough contemporary thriller in the mould of the DIRTY HARRY films. Arkin plays his typical bad-ass character, a cop on the trail of drug pushers who are causing multiple deaths throughout the city. When his own loved ones are affected by addiction and overdose, Arkin takes the fight to the bad guys himself. The plot's typical stuff here, but the vibrant and near-constant action sequences are what you'll be watching for. Even in middle age, Arkin is an incredible action star, doing all his own stunts and martial arts fights, and the result is a whirl of breathless energy and mayhem. Great!
