Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

An ordinary restaurant, a secret organisation behind it and an eight-member family trying to protect the secret. The idea promises pace: once the secret is out, the plan changes and things speed up. But this is an action comedy, so expect fun more than tension; anyone after a real sense of threat may find it a bit light. The cast is large, balancing that many characters is never easy, and some of them may fade into the background.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Ölümlü Dünya starts from a familiar formula: a family that looks ordinary from the outside and works for a secret organisation behind the scenes. The set-up wrings comedy from the clash between everyday life and extraordinary work; the real question is how freshly the script uses that contrast, despite having five credited writers. The restaurant in Haydarpaşa Station is a strong idea for a location, and a solid name like Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan is in the cast. But balancing an eight-member family in a single film is hard, and the temptation to fall back on genre cliches is always at the door.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

It is an action comedy built around a family, an eight-member one, which is nice. The effort to keep the secret could be fun. Since it is an action film, there may be fight scenes, so take a look before watching with small children. Families who enjoy a lively crowded-table feeling can happily watch it with teenagers and adults.
