Yolsuzlar Çetesi

Fiko and Kamil are two friends struggling to make ends meet. They mortgaged their families' homes and borrowed money from the bank and loan shark Rıfat to open a snack bar in their neighborhood. When Rıfat suddenly decides to take both their homes and their shop by moving up the payment date on the promissory note he holds, the duo finds themselves in a bind and strikes a deal with Cafer, the neighborhood's sharp-witted student, to get their business back on track and make money. Seeing that the duo is making money, Rıfat sets their shop on fire, putting them in an even more difficult situation. While Fiko and Kamil try to settle their debts with Rıfat, they find themselves caught in the middle of a war between Rıfat and another mafia boss, Süleyman. The duo will try to escape this struggle and save themselves, caught between Fiko's angelic-looking but immoral teenage brother Taki, their families, and Kamil's long-time love interest Gülay.

Directed by Ali Ayyıldız, Yolsuzlar Çetesi leans on a strong ensemble — Osman Sonant, Beyti Engin, Kadir Çöpdemir — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2016.
