Review of Midnight Express (1978) by Rob W — 20 Jan 2012

Amazing film, so bleak and intense, emotionally draining, but a great film, there's obviously a lot of bulk to the story and it's based on a true story - so when I say Brutal etc I mean it's based on real events and when you attempt to put yourself into this guys shoes , shit gets real. has various evil characters ... it'sa hard watch.

If you want to be genuinely horrified but also wooed by the level of acting and storyline, bypass the human centipede 2, and watch this instead. 'Midnight Express' is prison slang or Escape, you learn something new every day.
