Two Turkish anti-terrorist agents are sent to New York City on a mission to find and bring back the dangerous Islamic leader codenamed "Dajjal", believed to be hiding in there. Working with the FBI and NYPD, the agents orchestrate the arrest of Hadji Gumus, a well-respected Muslim scholar and family man who years before fled to the United States after being released from a Turkish prison, where he served time for murder. This tale love, friendship, peace and prejudices, takes us on a journey seeking to answer the question of whether innocence or guilt even matters to one who lusts for vengeance.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
dagcanbarka-847-861258 Definitely not a waste of time as some very interesting comments suggest.
Elshad Alizada I have just freshly watched this movie and I liked it very much. Good Work It is very beautiful story but also quite sad.And it also shows that All Muslims are not terrorist and all religions can live together peaceful God is the same for Muslims for Christians for Jews We can live without any wars, without any terrors...Like in movie with few controversial situation about religions mix and relations Two Turkish anti-terrorist agents are sent to New York City on a mission to find and bring back the dangerous Islamic leader codenamed "Dajjal", believed to be hiding in there.

nightingaleron Not often i would give a movie a 10/10 vote, but this movie is exceptionally great and packs a punch right from the first few minutes right through to the end. It is full of action,drama and some very emotional parts that if you are the type that like a bit of tear jerking then keep the tissues handy because this movie also delivers this.I could actually imagine this being a true story with the amount of bungles that happen today and the way we are so quick to accuse and condemn others.I do not intend to give an overview of the story as it is pretty well covered on site. But its a story of innocence and wrong doing.The scenery is breathtaking in some of the scenes and its one of those movies that has you glued to the story all the way to the point if you get a slight distraction you will be wanting to go back and watch what you missed.The only thing that might annoy some are the subtitles as the movie is also shot in Turkey. but once in America it is mostly English and then a bit of both but i found the subtitles very user friendly and a nice job done all round.Danny Glover, as usual exceeds in this movie, but the acting is superb all round.
mariustipa 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.
