The trailer for 10 Days of a Good Man reveals an upcoming Turkish crime thriller film set to premiere on Netflix in February. The film is actually based on the novel of the same name and is written by Mehmet Eroglu, who is also responsible for adapting it into a screenplay, along with Damla Serim. It is directed by Uluç Bayraktar.
The official synopsis for the film reads: "A lawyer-turned-private investigator takes on a missing person's case, propelling him on an unexpected search that will change his life." Harmless, self-sacrificing, trustworthy, virtuous, moral, etc. But what is the use of being a good person? If you have never hurt anyone in your whole life, can you say that you are really a good person? If you're willing to get your hands dirty for justice, does that make you a bad person?
Director: Uluç Bayraktar
Writers: Mehmet Eroglu, Damla Serim
Stars: Nejat Isler, Ilayda Alisan, Ilayda Akdogan
The cast of the film includes Nejat İşler, Nur Fettahoğlu, Şenay Gürler, İlayda Alişan, İlayda Akdoğan, Erdal Yıldız, Ata Artman, Esra Ronabar, Barış Falay, Yurdaer Okur, Rıza Kocaoğlu and Kadir Çermik.
10 Days of a Good Man is actually part of a series that will be adapted into three movies in the book trilogy, and as a whole it will tell the story of Sadik going from everyday person to anti-hero, as he searches for an answer to these important questions. As Sadik changes from good to bad, from bad to indifferent, those who cross his path receive their share of the tremors in his life and none of them manage to remain as clean and innocent as on the first day.
The trailer starts with him meeting someone and from this conversation we know he was in prison too when he says: six years and nine months, 13 months in jail and 77 months in total. They give him a case of a child who has been missing for the last month and we have footage of the child being tortured in a secluded location.
From that moment on, he begins his investigation in which he is not well received by the people he tries to get answers from and often rejects him. People also warn him not to get involved in this as not everyone will be a good man. As he digs deeper into his investigation, the lines between good and evil blur as Sadik, known as a good man, seeks justice in a world of smugglers and murderers.
Is this a premonition that he is turning to the dark side, as he is seen saying, "after all, even a good man can become a villain when he seeks justice." But the question remains whether his new ways will stand in the way of the justice he seeks.
