Pardon (2005)
9/10
A classical political comedy that makes fun of the Turkish judicial system
27 September 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This is a typical Ferhan Sensoy movie. Ferhan Sensoy is a popular writer, director and actor of Turkish theaters. He is well-known for his spontaneous acts which generally contains some political critics. He generally performs on stage in his own theater. Therefore, not many people get to see his acts most of the time. "Pardon", in that sense, is reaching out to people who can not come to watch his plays.

Pardon is about three friends who were accidentally locked up in jail, although innocent, and who can not get out because of the mistakes of the court system in Turkey. Rasim Oztekin, credited as one of the best supporting comedians, acts remarkable. He adds to the storyline while playing Ferhan Sensoy's best friend. Ali Catalbas is another friend of Ferhan and Rasim, he plays an honest guy. Although he is not well-known yet, he is a very promising actor both as a comedian and drama actor.
