3/10
A Turkish James Bond
28 May 2011
"Valley of the Wolves- Palestine" is a reasonably well-made action movie, every good if we are to take into account that it is a Turkish production, and not a very expensive one.

The film is action-packed, and is very similar to American action movies with all the necessary ingredients, that is, one or more invincible good guys and one or more demon-like bad guys, who are, of course, very predictable and ask the bad guys just the right, predictable questions (why did you come to Israel?) to receive a well phrased, predictable answers (I didn't come to Israel, I came to Palestine.) the plot is not too realistic- with all due respect to the heroic Turkish commando, I doubt they could land in Israel unspotted, let alone slaughter half of the Israeli army. As for the Marmara scenes, having watched the actual videos of the incident, I can say that the film overdid it just a bit.

To sum it up, the film is pretty entertaining if you live somewhere on the North Pole , don't have a clue what's going on in the Middle East and not aware of the balance of powers of the main political entities in the film.
