In Netflix’s #chokehold #BogaBoga the writer, director & cinematographer have done a 👌🏼 job. The editor not so much. @kivanctatlitug has again rendered a sinister and impacting electric performance @fundaeryigit is spectacular. Story n Narrative are the third masterful acts. 4🌟

It also has many beautiful shots and awesome sceneries of the countryside. P.S it’s slow-paced and not everyone’s cup of tea. #Chokehold 🎬🇹🇷#BogaBoga pic.twitter.com/wUqHBOOPlj

I know I’m late to the Kivanç Tatlitug bandwagon, but now that I’m here, I get it. His fanbase has taste, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of his movies.
I love hot men playing unlikable characters that I cannot root for with a clear conscience. There’s a lot to unpack there, but I’m going to watch this movie first and save that for a later day.
