It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Turkey, early 1980s: The ruthless drug smugglers manipulate, blackmail and terrorize the weak and the poor. A violent cop (Cuneyt Arkin of DEATH WARRIOR fame) fights them with his martial arts skills. However he comes across an unpleasant surprise when he discovers that his own son is a drug addict! KELEPCE is packed with gunfights, car chases, bloody killings, stock footage of explosions, drama, hilarious drug abuse and withdrawal scenes... actually it's got too much of everything. Cetin Inanc, the master of Turkish exploitation directs KELEPCE in a furious way, like only he could. The lack of English options shouldn't be a drawback as this is very predictable and hardly relies on dialogue. An essential viewing for fans of ultra-trashy action! Also known as Turkish DIRTY HARRY!
