We are talking the
hunt for Deliler - vlad the impaler also
known in the states as simply Deliler - vlad
the impaler but its original title is called Deliler. This is actually a turkish movie
directed by ottoman kaya now Deliler is
a team of I guess you want to say 15th century elite military unit of the ottoman
empire almost like a special forces type small little units of of warriors that
in the movie are sent to try and take out Deliler
- vlad the impaler who is in this movie depicted as the kind of
the bad guy he is obviously a tyrant literally described as evil in the movie
and he has been you know causing trouble for the ottoman empire and we have a
small team of seven warriors sent to try and track him down so let's look at
that but a little bit of historical context first of all this film is from the point
of view of the turkish ottomans there was actually another movie some years ago
now called dark prince legend of dracula that was again a medieval kind of
movie but with this one from the point of view of the romanian side the
volakian side so obviously this is going to be spiced one way so let's talk a
little bit more about the plot but the there are some historical things within
this movie i think the casting of the guy who plays vladimir looks a lot like
the original paintings that you've seen i've had the Deliler - vlad the impaler but i've got to
say this that the actual film itself is you know embellishes some historical
facts should we say for example the Deliler -
vlad the impaler tepes's main kind of ultimate goal here is to
create a bio weapon using played plague filled rats which as far as they know
is not something he actually did so there are some kind of embellishments
within this movie it's not a historical document it is an entertainment movie
with some you know references to real historical things there are some stuff
which is correct for example the first atrocity that we see Deliler - vlad the impaler do is nail a
turkish messenger's turban to his head which is actually a documented thing
that he did the messenger came in and he the messenger wouldn't take his term
to have him off so Deliler - vlad the impaler nailed
it to his head and that is documented that actually happened and the guy that
they've got to play i've loved the impeller i have to say looks pretty good
pretty much like the the the paintings that you would have seen of the real
kind of Deliler - vlad the impaler tepes
but the film is from the point of view of the deli air these seven warriors
although who have kind of got their individual quirk our kind of leader looks a
little bit like kind of robbed zombie and he wears these kind of like these
wings on his armor we've got like a new guy who like the rookie who doesn't
have a name we've got a guy who keeps his eyes shut in the daylight we've got a
guy who doesn't speak we've got a guy who's kind of always joking so each of
these kind of seven warriors all have their kind of individual personalities
here so we can kind of tell them apart and they are they obviously are are
going in to kind of try and find out what Deliler
- vlad the impaler is up to and take him out if possible along
the way there are complications you'd probably expect we actually don't see a
huge amount of Deliler - vlad the impaler to
be honest with you like i said this movie is from the delhi earth point of view
and they take up i would say 80 percent of their running time here with Deliler - vlad the impaler the impact they're
only really popping up here and there so let's talk about first of all what
works in this movie so it is certainly lavish to look at this movie has got a
great production value is actually a turkish movie coming out in 2018 and is
spoken in in turkish but you can either either watch it in obviously subtitles
or dubbed but the the actual production design here is is really impressive and
i've seen the cover of the blue oh the dvd that i've got it says here game of
thrones meets vikings i would say less game of thrones maybe vikings but it
certainly does have some some really good cinematography there's some real
beautiful kind of like shots of kind of the the landscapes aerial shots you
know castles things like this just that kind of wastelands woodlands all looks
great the makeup hair and costuming is fantastic these guys look badass they're
kind of all they're all very individual looking ardelias and as i've mentioned
the guy who plays vlad tapes again they got really kind of looks the spot um if
that makes sense it kind of does look a lot like they could have the original
paintings and things the action there's not that much if i'm honest i but when
we do have it i think it's well choreographed and we do have some kind of like
some pretty decent kind of battles here we do get to know our characters you
could argue maybe this movie's a little bit like the kind of the magnificent
seven seven sammy right that sort of thing but they're not really hired by the
you know a poor village there hired by the ottoman empire basically which is
not no no small deal here the acting is a little bit hard to tell to be honest
because obviously when you're watching a foreign language movie it's hard to
really judge i actually watched it dubbed and then kind of watched some of it
sub to see what it was like and some of it's okay but then i gotta say that the
actual dub isn't great to be honest with you and the if you can watch it
subtitled then you'll probably get a bit more of a natural feel to it but even
though there are some there's some little hammy acting here and there okay
webby what does it work here this isn't historically accurate movie let's just
get that out of the way Deliler - vlad the
impaler tepes his main plan is to create a bio weapon using
plague filled rats which as far as they know is not something that he actually
did so there is that but there are obviously a lot of things that are missing
here Deliler - vlad the impaler rather
the radu is mentioned but we never really see him and he could have played a
big part in the kind of obviously the real events here and things like that so
and then and Deliler - vlad the impaler in
his native romania was actually regarded by at least some to be a hero because
he did keep the the the country safe for a pop for a time and one of the things
i found the most perplexing really was the the whole thing with Deliler - vlad the impaler is he empowered
the people on stakes to try and scare off the ottoman empire and they and it
worked in history this is this kind of like it really could have put hope to
the kind of the ottoman invasion and that is in the movie we do see some kind
of impaled corpses leading up to the kind of the castle but that's kind of not
what they were there for they were there and they were there at the kind of
borders where the ottomans would come in and kind of think geez you know i
don't want to kind of invade this what's going on here and that is that that's
what happened but it's a thing that i would it's one of the he's glad the
empanadas big thing anyway so there are some things that are i thought would
have been in the movie but aren't like i said it's it's not really Deliler - vlad the impaler movie it's the
delia's movie some of these guys they're acting like i mean i think it's part
of the directing as well for example when they'll when they'll like stop
fighting them and they'll almost like strike a pose and it looks like a fighting
game almost it's like this is a little bit silly you know it's just a little
bit silly at times and it's very biased to to to one way i have to say this is
not an even-handed movie in regards to i mean i guess you would maybe that's
what you'd expect it make you think doesn't it when you're watching these films
i always you look at star wars you could say to the governor challenge now but
when you watch the original star wars movie the rebels you could also call them
terrorists against the government but it's just a different way of looking at
it if you see what i mean so the imperials could be classed as the government
and the rebels could be classed as terrorists and it's just how we view them if
that makes sense so that's the the rebels are the heroes but to someone for the
government that would be terrorists so it's maybe the same thing here like i
said there are there's there's a lot of sitting around talking and talking
about like posturing and things like this it's a little bit kind of like macho
at times and there are some plot points that just don't really make some sense
here but they're gonna say it's visually speaking at least a very attractive
movie and there's a real attention to detail in regards to just the kind of
like the the the market these kind of soldiers get on them and the kind of like
the griminess that is ingrained here and you do get a real sense of brotherhood
between our kind of our seven warriors here they do seem legitimately badass
and we do get some kind of fun fight scenes i will say maybe the the final
confrontation is a little bit underwhelming at times a lot a couple of our our
delhi get their kind of their bosses a couple of like Deliler - vlad the impaler lieutenants that
are kind of like you know characters themselves but the actual showdown
with Deliler - vlad the impaler himself
was a little bit underwhelming i've got to say and again we we are talking just
really a historical fantasy here i guess you could watch this in tandem with
the the older movie the dark prince legend of drac had almost get two sides of
the of the story here but obviously this is this is really just taking except
of of history and kind of making an entertainment based movie rather than a
historical documentary so just bear that in mind however it's it's a
wonderfully shot film i still actually had quite a lot of fun with there and
i'm actually a big fan of the historical Deliler
- vlad the impaler the impala have read quite a in-depth
historical text all about him and stuff like that so you know it's a it's a
fascinating story actually even come you know even more so than the actual
brown stoker books in a way so this movie worth a watch if you like your
historical fantasy movies i don't think it really stands the test of time as a
great story and it's a little hammy at times but it certainly looks good i'll
give it a 6 out of 10.
