'Men' Disappoints with a Flat Examination of Misogyny
Despite its simple premise, “imagine being a woman,” the horror behind "Men" feels fueled by a hollow understanding of the insidiousness of misogyny.

The film tells the story of Murat's struggle to rescue his brother Yusuf from a drug gang. Murat is left disabled while trying to save the lives of workers in an accident at his factory. Despite being confined to a wheelchair, he does not give up on life. One day, he finds packets of heroin in his closet. His brother Yusuf is working as a courier for a gang involved in heroin trafficking. Murat will take action to rescue his brother from the gang's clutches.

Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.
