Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

just watch it!

Better Late Then Never

The Breath begins almost as a Turkish version of Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. A drill instructor berates a group of young soldiers; telling them that they will all die; especially if they sleep. He says that their mothers will cry when their bodies are sent home for burial. He asks one of the boys if he has a girlfriend. When he answers yes, the commander says, not anymore, and while you are fighting for your country, she will find a new boyfriend.The platoon is sent to a dangerous mountain region at the Iraqi border to stop the radical Kurdistan Workers Party. The Turkish soldiers learn quickly that they are canon fodder for their government; a fairly universal theme everywhere. The battle scenes are well made and as military films go, The Breath is one of the better ones that I've seen. Director Levent Semerci make you really care what happens to the brave young men.

I was very surprised when i saw the rating of this film and i had very high expectations before seeing the movie.But during the movie it was so difficult for me not to fall asleep.The dialogs are also so poor. At least the actors should have been more professional.Probably the worst movie i have seen in my life.They stole my 2 hours in my life.Overrated .An Awful Movie.I highly recommend to avoid watching this poor quality movie

Most of the reviews here are biased towards a Turkish patriotism, not good...Most of the non-Turkish reviews are here not to review but to protest the high ratings of this movie, understandable...But I sadly see that no one got the point.First of all this movie does not praise Turkish soldiers, nor slanders Kurdish rebels. It has a slight feel of patriotism, but not as much as an average war movie.You can't take the plot in the movie and interpret like it has an international message, like you do in private Ryan. Because you and even most of the Turkish people DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE about what is really going on in the eastern Turkey.I've been there as a soldier, in a troop very near to the place chosen for this film. With the things i saw and observed while I was there, with the conclusions I draw after coming back and thinking about what I experienced for a while, this film is decently REALISTIC and PERSUASIVE to me.Because it's about the unbelievably wrong methods the government and army carry in Eastern Turkey. It's about ordinary and irrelevant young men named "soldiers" after a couple of months so called training and are forced to fight an imposed and everlasting war.It's partly about a commander, who lost his sanity and hope after his best friends death.And it's not about anything else...
