10 Days of a Bad Man is the second installment of “10 Days“, following the 2023 film 10 Days of a Good Man. The film stars Nejat İşler as a private investigator who is finds himself in a bind and is forced to take distasteful measures in order to uncover the truth behind a murder. The film is directed by Uluç Bayraktar. Bayraktar also directed the first film, 10 Days of a Good Man. The screenplay is written by Damla Serim and Mehmet Eroğlu.

We are presented with a sequel that follows the same cinematic parameters as the first one, that allows us to witness how the main character evolves as he grows older and, as it turns out, develops more addictions. The burden of a long lived life of hardship and self-sacrifice is a hefty burden to carry on one’s shoulders.

Be that as it mas, he is still surrounded by beautiful women, who serve as an obvious lure, and add some glamour, in this thriller that departs from the initial stoic, cool and collected “Bogartesque” style and becomes much more melancholic.

About the Film

“10 Days of a Bad Man” remains in its slot as a classic thriller, but more removed from its predecessor’s Hollywood influence, and more returning to its Turkish roots, becoming more melancholic and sentimental. In this installment the protagonist shows a more natural and human side, and even enhances these aspects.

With a compelling performance by Nejat İşler, present in every scene, as the central character who is a now a detective nearing retirement, and can yet not refrain from pursuing his investigation – it is who he is, after all. Alongside him is the stunning Ilayda Alisan, an assistant who slowly but surely starts to take center stage.

This sequel will not let the fans of Turkish cinema down, as it knows how to narrate the evolution of events and its protagonists, rendering his more tender and human side of its characters. It is, though, a story of violence, and hardcore criminals, while the leads are full of good intentions (despite the title).

The film openly displays its “charms” and fully embraces its human aspect. It does not hide its secrets or attempt to disguise itself: it shows what it is and does its job while achieving its objectives, even if the combination may not convince everyone, much in the same way the first film.

Is it too sentimental to be a violent crime investigation thriller? Perhaps it is, as it may have abandoned the more traditional aspects of the first film with the aim to please and appeal to the Turkish film industry audience.

Our Opinion

A film that is both joyful and bitter, a thriller that refuses to stop focusing on a tender character, and never abandons its humanity and sentimental side.

“10 días de un mal hombre” (2023) Película en Netflix. Crítica: Una secuela mucho más melancólica de lo esperado

10 Days of a Bad Man (2023)

Martin Cid 18 August 2023, 6:54 am

10 días de un mal hombre es la segunda entrega de “10 días”, tras la película de 2023 10 días de un buen hombre. La película está protagonizada por Nejat İşler en el papel de un investigador privado que se ve obligado a hacer cosas malas para descubrir la verdad que se esconde tras el asesinato de una mansión. La película está dirigida por Uluç Bayraktar, que también dirigió la primera película. El guión está escrito por Damla Serim y Mehmet Eroğlu.

Una segunda parte que transita sobre los mismos parámetros cinematográficos que la primera, con la pertinente evolución del personaje principal, más viejo y con alguna adicción más, con más vida a sus espaldas.

Eso sí, sigue rodeado de chicas muy guapas, que sirven como evidente reclamo a este thriller que abandona el estilo Humphrey Bogart y se vuelve mucho más melancólico.

Sobre la película

“10 días de un mal hombre” sigue siendo un thriller clásico, pero con mucho menos de Hollywood y más de su Turquía natal, más melancólico y también más sentimental, con un protagonismo que no sólo conserva su lado humano, sino que lo acrecienta.

Una película que tiene a un buen Nejat İşler, presente en todas las escenas, protagonista absoluto en su evolución como detective casi acabado que, sin embargo, se ve obligado a seguir investigando junto a una bellísima Ilayda Alisan, ayudante en la ficción y evidente centro de todas las miradas.

Una secuela que sabe evolucionar y gustará a los aficionados al cine turco, siempre con tendencia a mostrar el lado más tierno, más humano de los personajes. Esto es una historia con violencia, llena de criminales en la que, por el contrario, los protagonistas están llenos de buenos sentimientos (a pesar del título).

Una película que no duda en mostrar sus “encantos” abiertamente y exprimirlos, al igual que su aspecto humano. No es una cinta de disimulos ni que oculte celosamente sus secretos: es lo que muestra y hace su trabajo y consigue sus objetivos, aunque la mezcla no vaya a convencer a todos, como tampoco hizo la primera película.

¿Demasiado sentimental para ser un thriller de investigación criminal violento? Puede que sí y puede que haya abandonado el lado más clásico de la primera película para agradar más que la primera, para convencer más a la audiencia de la industria turca.

Nuestra Opinión

Una película alegre y amarga a la vez, un thriller que no quiere dejar de centrarse en un personaje tierno ni quiere abandonar en ningún momento su aspecto más humano y sentimental.
