Five Minarets in New York (2010)

You won't be disappointed!

Perfect cast and a good story

Just what I expected

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I have found a new genre of movies. And some fantastic film making skills in Turkish cinema. Spectacular story telling with seamless infusion of relevant messages and entertainment. I borrowed the DVD from a friend, but now I am buying the DVD.Its a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, almost epic, thriller with more than a good measure of fantastic action sequences. Having visited Turkey and with my great respect to the Turkish culture, I am glad the director maintained a thoroughly authentic style of telling the story from a Turkish point-of-view, yet not compromise on it's view-ability for an international audience.A great weekend movie or a movie for any occasion where you just need something different to Hollywood movies.Respect to Turkish Cinema!

"We're both able to figure people out at a glance. We've got the wrong guy." After a man is taken into FBI custody for terrorist activity his wife (Gershon) wants to know why. When two Turkish agents show up in New York to bring him back an accident occurs that results in his escape. With the threat of an attack on New York looming it is a race against time to recapture him. But is he the one they really should be looking for? This is a very complicated movie to review. Much like most people's thoughts on the currant anti-terrorism strategy we want them stopped, but at the same time we don't want them involved in our everyday life. This is a movie about just that. Following leads that sometimes divert their attention from the actual problem and being so stuck on one idea that it is hard to admit you may be wrong. Without sounding too political this is a movie that points out the flaws in the system but also shows what happens when it works correctly. The acting is good and the ending will shock you and break your heart. A movie that keeps you guessing right up until the end and makes you wonder how often this really happens. This has the feel of a TV movie and the quality could have been better but that's one of the only complaints. This is a movie worth watching. Overall, a very interesting and intriguing movie about how the FBI tracks terrorists and what happens when they are wrong. I say B.

I can't believe this movie has got 6.0/10 rating! People must be mad.. Don't waste 2 precious hours of your life by watching this..I had the misfortune of actually buying a ticket to see this in theater, just to witness how awful this piece of **** is! One of the most overrated Turkish films..Acting is miserable.. Directing is all over the place.. It feels like a collection of many short videos than a movie.. Editing is bad.. Stereotypical Mahsun Kirmizigul melodrama is there.. Singer turned director hits the iceberg this time.. I actually found his previous efforts pretty decent, but this is one genuinely useless movie.. It's a disgrace to the art of cinema!

Despite a few clichés, the movie is not, first of all, a predictable one. It starts like any other Hollywood picture, with secret agents and the most fresh subject: Muslim and terrorism. But further more we find that it is about religion, about the fact that there is only one God. We find that the fundamentalist's of Islam are not tolerated by the Islam itself. We can see a dialog between a fundamentalist priest and a true one, despite the fact that they are dressed in ... white and black, suppose a lack of inspiration. We find that the destiny is inevitably. We find that there is love and forgiveness in both - in all of religions.
