Öz Hakiki Karakol: Asayiş Berkemal Ağa (2012) is a Turkish film comedy which centers around a bunch of ‘misfit’ policemen stationed at a process- mule’ in the Turkish provincial town. The picture directed by Ibrahim Guler contains funny situations especially in relation to the Turkish police work and bureaucracy.
Protagonists of the movie confront their first case where a bunch of inexperienced cops under the mandate of containing disturbances in a dull town with no options of real crime have no option of fighting crime. cher strategists, heroic figures are robbed off their self-belief when they are presented with a real challenge: an enthralling case. They end up with ludicrous circumstances, only then the circumstances and yes true also the professionalism and the ability to ebb-off the industrial designed flaws of hierarchies prevent them to succeed. They are these oafs’ but willing to achieve on prospects, locking up and in sequences leaving more than what one would assume.
The film draws even greater humorous scenes when one remembers the title, Asayiş Berkemal Ağa which is translated to ‘All is secure sir;’ – A phrase readiness to direct transactions in Turkey. But at the laughable side it trenched itself in the movie when officers respond to the fact with say everything is fine as helicopters are swirling and chasing them.
For audiences in the quest for comedy and tenderness towards authority, “Öz Hakiki Karakol” is likely to do the trick.
