Review of Money Trap

Money Trap (2019)
7/10
Good old Istanbul
22 February 2019
Yilmaz Erdogan present us a follow up of his follow-up cameo movie Organize Isler. It highlights the details of Istanbul and the Turkish standards in a very questioning way. But I am easy able to say that this part is not an oeuvre as the first one is. A fine watch but nothing more special than that. Worth watching with both family and friends.

A sidenote to this movie is the 'silkerler' word used in a scene is a quick copy of Levent Kirca's sketch named ''Silkmisim haliyi''. I just want to underline this to respect the profession of Kirca in the theathre business. But what made me to give the seven instead of six is the choice of minimizing the use of bad words with which other modern Turkish movies make their bread with.

The eight is too far due to the saturation of time with music and dance. The movie could easily be ended in 1&1/5 hour without them. This actually was wasted valuble time which could be usrled to perfectionize spoken parts of the movie or add some more action. Sometimes it felt like Erdogan ripped us off while he was eating the caviar.
