I always complain about the language of Turkish movies. You can see a street punk or a bad gangster speaking with a perfect language. No slang, no bad language. So none of this movies could reflect the characters. In the latest movies this was overcome. But this movie is reflecting the characters perfect. Everything is as it should be. Besides, the acting and the story is very good for a low budget movie. I didn't know that Erkan Can was such a good actor before I saw this movie. Especially the marijuana scenes are perfect and funny as hell. It's said and confirmed that they were really high during the making of these scenes. The story is original also. Four randy, junkie and accidentally murderer sailors and a virgin prostitute in a sand ship. You think what will happen. You can learn some creative curses like "Elephants are f..king in my head" or "Bears are screaming in my ass" And some facts about the movie: Some scenes in this movie were used in another movie:"Laleli'de Bir Azize" (A Saint in Laleli). The movie was made before the Kocaeli earthquake on August 17th. In a scene the captain says "The buildings made with the sand we collect from the sea will return to the sea" In the earthquake, the buildings made with sea sand in Kocaeli was buried into the sea. And the movie was aired on television for the first time at the night of the earthquake. Interesting...
