Onur Tan directed the 2019 Turkish comedy Aman Reis Duymasın (Let's hope the President doesn't hear about this). It carries the characters of the series Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz to the cinema, opened on 13 December 2019 and runs 99 minutes.

The mobsters and their wives fear only that the scandal will reach the big boss, Hızır Çakırbeyli.

The leads are Ozan Akbaba (İlyas Çakırbeyli), Mustafa Üstündağ (Boran) and Savaş Özdemir. The cast also includes Atıf Emir Benderlioğlu (Behzat Façalı), Ceren Benderlioğlu (Ömür Çakırbeyli), Tevfik Erman Kutlu (Tekin), Hakan Karsak and Sevil Akı.

Through different eyes

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

The mob bosses head off for a quiet holiday, but one mishap chases another in the resort town and they end up in the slammer. The idea is fun. At 99 minutes it is short, so the risk of dragging is low. Do not expect action; this is mostly comedy. People who do not know the series' characters may feel like outsiders at first, so it speaks mainly to those who follow the show.

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

Taking a successful series to the cinema often means a long episode rather than something rethought for the big screen. Here the set-up, sending the underworld's well-known figures and their wives to a quiet holiday town, is a productive, ready-made comedy formula: one mishap chases another until they land in a cell. The real question is whether Bahadır Özdener and Berna Aruz's screenplay offers more than one idea over 99 minutes, and whether it can draw in someone who has not watched Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz. If it leans too hard on the formula, even a short running time can feel long.

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

The series' characters are on holiday with their wives this time, and a chain of comic mishaps follows. Fans of the show will laugh more. Since the subject is the mafia world, watch the language and setting if you are watching with small children; it suits teenagers and adults better. It is a short 99-minute film that fits into one evening.
