Arriving in Istanbul, he is thrust into a vastly different world, where he encounters others who have suffered their own losses in the conflict: Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko), a strikingly beautiful but guarded hotelier raising a child alone; her young, spirited son, Orhan (Dylan Georgiades), who finds a friend in Connor; and Major Hasan (Yilmaz Erdoğan), a Turkish officer who fought against Connor's boys and who may be this father's only hope. With seemingly insurmountable obstacles in his path, Connor must travel across the battle-scarred Turkish landscape to find the truth... and his own peace. (Warner Bros. US)

Russell Crowe delves into making his own film, which revolves around Australian wartime history and the battle in Turkey, which ended tragically for the Australian side. Crowe is a good actor and manages to carry the whole film quite well, but here he's not trying to stand out, even though he succeeds. The film is sometimes overly sentimental and plays it safe too much, but I got through it without much trouble.
