An ex-con musician returns to Istanbul to take a sweet and silent revenge from the ingenue with whom he once was in love, insensibly to her extramarital affairs.
Sinekatalog’s take
An ex-convict musician returns to Istanbul to take quiet revenge on the woman he once loved. The thriller trappings are thin, and the melodrama carries it. Only for those who enjoy minor 1980s Turkish revenge dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
