Two Turkish anti-terrorist agents are sent to New York City on a mission to find and bring back the dangerous Islamic leader codenamed "Dajjal", believed to be hiding in there. Working with the FBI and NYPD, the agents orchestrate the arrest of Hadji Gumus, a well-respected Muslim scholar and family man who years before fled to the United States after being released from a Turkish prison, where he served time for murder. This tale love, friendship, peace and prejudices, takes us on a journey seeking to answer the question of whether innocence or guilt even matters to one who lusts for vengeance.

Five Minarets in New York Audience Reviews

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
dagcanbarka-847-861258 Definitely not a waste of time as some very interesting comments suggest.
erikvail-42672 It was worth viewing for me as a Turkish language learner, though I have seen way better Turkish films. It does not lack the positive message, the peace and acceptance toward other religions, some kind of motif related to the return of prodigal son, mother son relationship, vengeance and a surprising unexpected ending. Those familiar with Mustafa Sandal the singer will recognize him in the person of one of the agents, the other one is played by the director himself. The main character is impersonated by Haluk Bilginer who until the mid nineties acted in Britain. Also one can see other familiar faces, like Robert Patrick, Danny Glover. I can't write full quotes, but I can tell some views of Hadji which contain something like every religion is the love of God which brings to Him, killing will make you go to hell, dying brings you to meet God. He shows full acceptance of Christians, his wife is Christian and her daughter marries a Christian.
carcamoalex Good movie..with few controversial situation about religions mix and relations. Is inspiring because depict a Muslims with a new thoughts about others religions, but little naive about those situations. Sure the use of some situation related to the war on terror help to add context. But in the end the argument split in too many roads, that nobody is let out of criticism, Turkey with its record of torture , Muslim extremist warring a jihad, the FBI completely dumb. But what is more incredible is the Danny Glover role...fit to his personality and political position in real life. and isn't causality that the modern Black Panthers were the only ones who did the things right..even fighting the legal system with violence and getting out unpunished. Good movie.
cinepix I can't believe this movie has got 6.0/10 rating! People must be mad.. Don't waste 2 precious hours of your life by watching this..I had the misfortune of actually buying a ticket to see this in theater, just to witness how awful this piece of **** is! One of the most overrated Turkish films..Acting is miserable.. Directing is all over the place.. It feels like a collection of many short videos than a movie.. Editing is bad.. Stereotypical Mahsun Kirmizigul melodrama is there.. Singer turned director hits the iceberg this time.. I actually found his previous efforts pretty decent, but this is one genuinely useless movie.. It's a disgrace to the art of cinema!
