The plot just does not make sense, completely wasted my time.

Good ideas, and decent acting. It’s halfway between Ocean's and Lupin with touches of Turkish humor and charm. Moreover, the plot is well-crafted, the cinematography artistic, and the music engaging. I must say, I loved it. Some aspects of the film remind me of the enchanting tales of One Thousand and One Nights. Others of more classic stories, like Gone with the Wind with Esra Bilgiç as Scarlett O'Hara—heroic, romantic, and in love—or The Old Man and the Sea, where man must face the forces of nature with humility, and Birkan Sokullu indeed imparts this life philosophy at the film’s end. A masterful blend of genres, therefore. A must-see and rewatch. A little, a lot, passionately, madly.

It started off well but ended poorly. The movie's advantages are good looking cast and great locations.

There's nothing new about this crime-romance-drama film, although everything and everyone is quite stylish... so there's that.

I'm going to write this review in a way that avoids giving any spoilers at all. Here goes...the one-line plot summary sounded good, but it turns out the way the lackluster and hole-filled script - dialogue, transitions, important moments - was written and executed seemed as though it was pulled off a teenager's even-worse-than-mediocre Wattpad fanfic page.
The plot is contrived nonsense, and by about 10 minutes in, you know exactly what's going to happen. There's zero suspense, only predictability littered with boring cliches along the way.
There is zero chemistry between the lead actors, Bilgiç and Birkan Sokullu. They are both very good looking, but there's zero fire, passion, or electricity between them. Zero character depth or growth throughout the film. Zero investment in the characters individually or as a "couple."
The shooting locations were beautiful. That's the only positive, hence the one star.
I have to say that I was most shocked at how bad the performance of the lead actress was. I discovered Esra Bilgiç through her role as Sibel on Ramo a few years ago, and she was absolutely legendary. Her talent then was the complete opposite of what I watched here, and it was extremely disappointing. I hope she will re-hone her acting skills, and then go back to taking on valuable, legendary roles instead of cheap, vulgar, contrived, forgettable trash characters like Alin.
Skip it.

Cheap, low-budget, distasteful with rotten and at-times inconsistent story line. Amateurish, pathetic direction with no sense of film making and focus on story line.
