Synopsis

Istanbul’s criminal underworld is depicted as a realm of ruthless families and arrogant hitmen who fear no one. Kadir Korkut, known as “the Demon,” is presented as the most feared among them. When he decides to retire in order to be with a blind German pianist he loves, a series of events unfolds that turns the night blood‑red. His boss and foster father, Kara Cemal, betrays him and forces Kadir to carry out two final killings against the city’s two largest rival families by poisoning him and offering an antidote only if the murders are completed. Outgunned, outmanned and facing seemingly impossible odds, Kadir must cooperate with an exposed undercover police informant named Cem in order to survive his last night of revenge and redemption.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

2014 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.9× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
