Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

blancastarolivera Tremendous striking film work in history. Not easy to watch due to violent scenes specially at the begnning, but this movie definitely takes you on a trip to international society and politics possible situations. The director and actors keep you in tension until the very end.

hakimseran I have watch this movie in 1995 in Turkish TV. It was banned here i can see why. There is no good Turkish person in the movie. Not even single one. In WW2 movies you see German soldier gives a cigarettes to a prisoner or Jews or a Nazi officer do something nice for Jews. I mean i can understand that this is a prison movie and there is no good prison anywhere in the world. I am Turkish and this movie makes me think this movie was specially made to insult whole nation and influence the viewer and give them terrible opinion about Turkey which was not good in the first place. I rated 2 because i think the soundtrack is great.The rest awful.

Incredulous It is as if the director and writer wanted to "revenge porn" matters but instead by using fiction dressed as fact. It would have been enough to fictionalize it and make it non-country specific. But no! That does not sell enough!As it is it really is noting more than a record of how it is White Anglo-Saxons used to "get away" with horrible caricatures and then have the gall to claim it as "truth" to simply increase ticket sales.No wonder Parker later tried to redeem himself with Mississippi Burning.

Stanley Tarantino I'll keep this review short. Midnight Express-1978-Directed by Alan Parker-Starring Brad Davis and the legendary John Hurt-Screenplay by the great Oliver Stone. This film is a 9/10. The film is based on the real story of a man called Billy Hayes who was imprisoned for trying to smuggle hash out of Turkey. The film really struck me on the harsh reality and how much grit was projected. The film is really a bleak reality filled with horror and violence with sadistic humans which creates true terror of a horrible place with true grit and real terror. The film is sickening and in places and saddening in others. I'm not sure what to do. From a sweaty, enclosed prison to a horrifying mental asylum where the talk of 'machines' rules and the slow demise of Billy as he discovers his meaning and sexuality and the power of his mentality is sometimes heartbreaking as he plans his escape to normality."if I stay here I'm going to die!"
