Today, I went to the sequel of Mortal World, whose first film I really liked, and I had serious reservations because, as someone who believes the first film is extremely underrated, I was concerned that this sequel might set the series back. Contrary to expectations, the first film was in a good position, featuring exceptionally well-executed action sequences and, unlike the mediocrity in Turkish cinema, successfully incorporating the proper use of profanity and situational comedy, similar to series like "Gibi."
The second film, compared to the first, leans a bit more towards situational comedy while slightly reducing the action, but it was definitely worth it. Once again, the action scenes are absurdly enjoyable and of high quality, eliciting genuine laughter. Especially the scene where they confront the mafia with Rasputin's music is truly magnificent. Congrats to Ali Atay and the team for acing this test once again.
This film indeed contains a lot of profanity, and some people may genuinely dislike it. I watched it with a friend who doesn't like profanity, but she wasn't bothered at all because she said profanity, when used in the right context, is extremely funny, especially for Turkey. I quote this expression verbatim and agree with it.
Even if the script revolves around the mafia and feels a bit repetitive, the careful selection of new characters enhances the potential for the continuation of the film. I sincerely wish for comedy-action films of at least this quality to be maintained as a minimum standard for the development of this industry. I hope more films with scenes like the non-awkward rocket launcher, helicopter chase, bus pursuit, mall fight, and hospital chase are produced and analyzed critically.
Finally, I want to mention Feyyaz Yigit. Adding something new to his superb performance in the series "Gibi" and his beyond funny acting in the first Mortal World film, he delivered another memorable performance. Everyone else was more than good. After all, making the actors harmonious with the quality of a comedy film should be the main goal, even though many of our films still struggle with this. Watch it, make others watch it.
