"Kirimli" is a German/Turkish co-production from 2 years ago that runs for roughly 110 minutes and was directed by Burak Arliel and adapted by a pair of writers from a novel. Fittingly with the countries that contributed in making this one, there is basically the same amount of German and Turkish language in here, so make sure you got subtitles unless you are fluent in both languages. The cast is predominantly Turkish and the German speaking comes from actors playing Nazi soldiers and interacting with each other. Maybe you need to be Turkish actually to enjoy the story and the historical reference, but I personally felt this movie brought nothing new that hasn't been shown us already in the huge number of war-themed movies in the past. I was bored for the most part I must say, but yeah, maybe you really need to be from Turkey or have such a background in order to understand and feel the story depicted in here.
It is basically the usual. Likable Turkish prisoners, unlikeable German Nazis. I cannot say I really felt with any of the characters in here and I felt the writing could have been a lot better. It's not a complete failure, but very mediocre and generic for the most part what Atilla Ünsal and Nil Güleç Ünsal came up with. I also felt that the movie could have been considerably shorter. Cut out many of the less interesting scenes and this one would have been 95 minutes max I guess and that would have been a good thing in this very case. Overall, my verdict is negative and I do not recommend checking it out. Thumbs down.
