Mission Istanbul belongs to the esteemed genre of deliciously bad films such as Jaani Dushman, Shakalaka Boom Boom, Aitraaz; or what I prefer to call the 'So bad, it's brilliant' genre.

Terrorism goes international with a screenplay that's blessedly free of the amateurism that we have come to associate with cinema on terrorism in our country.

To sum things up, don't expect much from this Mission. Just don't bother watching it, unless you're a hardcore action fan and don't care much about content.
