I've just learned this movie because of Ozan Aciktan's new movie. I think this movie is his best project. I loved the scenario. But the best thing about this movie is that the choices of directing for the atmosphere are perfect. This movie has interesting opening scene, which I loved. It's like clip or trailer and. He tells us in the opening what kind of tension awaits us in the story.

Instant noir classic in Turkish cinema
Great plot and excellent execution. Intense and involving story comes to life with Ozan Aciktan's perfectionist directing. Film starts in a slow pace climaxing after a steady and gradual climb. Aytac Usun, one of the supporting actors was amazing in his first full feature acting job. Although film noir is not a common genre in Turkish cinema Silsile will make my top 20 Turkish films list. Tardu Flordun also shines in his role getting a few big laughs with his carefully measured acting. Watching Silsile was like a fresh breath of air in Turkey's not so diverse cinema today. Director of photography Ahmet Sesigurgil did a great job capturing the story's intense and dark atmosphere.

Not So Bad
It's a thrilling movie but at some point you feel bored. Some scenes took more than necessary. At the end of the movie, you feel relieved because things happen as expected.
