Netflix's new Turkish thriller movie Chokehold had a hard-hitting ending

Chokehold depicted the chilling story of a highly corrupt and evil businessman named Yalin who would go to any extent to hide his crimes and stay out of prison. At the very beginning of the movie, Yalin was seen leaving Istanbul, along with his wife Beyza, and shifting to a village named Assos, where he used to live as a child. He relocated after the fallout of his Ponzi scheme in Istanbul.

Even after relocating to Assos, Yalin remained his selfish and sinister self. Villagers despised him as he also scammed them for their hard-earned money. Later, he went on to kill two villagers after they attacked him for scamming them of their money. He hid their bodies in the woods. As his crimes became hard to hide, he decided to leave the village and go somewhere else. Thus, he asked his wife Beyza to pack her things after telling her about his plan to escape Assos.

However, Beyza refused to follow his order. She did not want to leave the village. She thought that after everything that happened in Istanbul, her husband would become a changed man and would not go down the same dark path. However, she was wrong as Yalin was far from changed. He had even become a murderer. Things soon escalated when Yalin showed Beyza a suitcase full of a million euros, which was his share of the scammed money in Istanbul.

Beyza couldn't believe her eyes. She was furious at him and wanted to take the money to the DA. As she prepared to take the money out, Yalin hit her with a hammer on the back of her head in a fit of rage. Beyza died and Yalin was proud of what he had done.

After killing his wife, Yalin decided to stop running away from the person he truly was. He accepted his evil nature and took the decision to stay in the village. What he did next was something even more astonishing and unthinkable. He bought the silence of the villagers and the police with his money. He gave away one million euros to the villagers and the police, making them his obedient followers.

In the end, Yalin remained unscratched even after committing so many heinous crimes. After receiving the money, the police even stopped looking into the murder cases. He showed how, with the power of his money, he could do whatever he wanted.

Chokehold ended with Yalin waiting for the news of his Ponzi scheme to dial down so that he could start organizing new schemes to extort money from more innocent people.
