I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The one of the very best movie of Tavuz Turgul's cinematography. Istanbul is the stage(iconographic background)all the characters are of warriors for their own existence for some reason.Time and city looses its originality day by day.Only the very best partners can have the same dream which may takes days. Love is so difficult to reach in that stage.I am not pessimistic in that point.Istanbul is becoming for something different from what it was before.True.There also is something new which is good and inspiring. The movie also carries of an important reference which reminds traditional "Gölge Oyunu-Karagöz=two partners arguing all the time for an artificial subject that they discovered for performance" As a revolutionist I do not agree with the idea that the movie says ;no way out to get this capitalistic degradation.

if you run an eye over the cast you can clearly see these are one of the best actors of Turkish cinema (sener sen, sevket altug etc.) and imho yavuz turgul is the best director of Turkey. well, this makes that movie interesting (and also strong), isn't it?anyways, golge oyunu is briefly a story about friendship, losers and existence. i know these are all separate subjects. but, just watch it. and also, golge oyunu is the first (and only) fantastic movie experiment of Turkish cinema as far as i know. look at that, yavuz turgul has directed "The Matrix" 10 years ago :)
