Movie · 2018 · 6 people

Çakallarla Dans 5 (Dance with the Jackals 5) is the fifth comedy in the series and the sequel to Çakallarla Dans 4. Murat Şeker directed it and wrote the screenplay with Ali Tanrıverdi. It reached cinemas in November 2018 through CJ Entertainment Turkey and sold about 1.4 million tickets, grossing roughly 18.1 million lira. Serhat Ersöz composed the music and Barış Ayaztaş produced.

The story opens in a courtroom, where the jackals, a gang of friends from Fikirtepe, are released on condition that they keep at least a hundred metres apart. For friends who are never apart, that is hard. Meanwhile Gökhan, nicknamed Kayınço, learns that a one-night affair years ago left him with a daughter, Leyla, whose boyfriend is the rich, snobbish Sinan. Gökhan cannot accept it, decides to split the couple, and, realising he cannot manage alone, calls the jackals to help. Breaking the ban, the gang reunites and tumbles into adventures to rescue Leyla.

Şevket Çoruh plays Gökhan, İlker Ayrık plays Servet, Timur Acar plays Köfte Necmi and Murat Akkoyunlu plays Del Piero Hikmet. Uraz Kaygılaroğlu is Sinan and Çağla Irmak is Leyla, with Didem Balçın, Şebnem Dönmez, Ali Barkın and Hande Katipoğlu also in the cast. Director Murat Şeker appears on screen as a police officer.

Through different eyes

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

A series that still draws this many viewers by its fifth instalment has clearly won a place in people's hearts; well over 1.4 million tickets are not sold by accident. Gökhan learning, years later, that he has a daughter is exactly the kind of warm core the old family melodramas loved. Yet, as so often in crowded comedies of this kind, that feeling risks being drowned out by noisy humour. To an eye raised on the classics, the delicate bond between father and daughter deserved more patience. Even so, the loyalty between the friends remains the film's most endearing quality.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Çakallarla Dans 5 finds the series at the stage where it repeats its own template. The hundred-metre rule set in the courtroom is actually a clever dramatic knot: keeping a gang that is always together apart gives the comedy a built-in tension. But rather than pushing that idea all the way, the script leans on the plan to split up Leyla and Sinan, and the two strands at times get in each other's way instead of feeding each other. Murat Şeker's cameo as a police officer is a small wink at the franchise. The cast's familiarity with their characters makes for an easy rapport, though that ease sometimes slides into laziness. A fifth film needed a bolder structure to refresh the formula. Fans will be satisfied; newcomers will find little on offer.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

For a family that likes the series, this is familiar fun. Four friends who are not allowed within a hundred metres of each other is an idea even children will find funny. But be aware: the story moves forward with a daughter born of a one-night affair, which younger kids may need explained. The heroes are a gang released on parole who then break the ban, so they are hardly role models. It sits better with teenagers. For adults, it is a light, easygoing evening.
