Review of Midnight Express (1978) by Jay Scott for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 06 Jun 1993
Midnight Express is at war with itself. Strong when it focuses on the psychological toll of prison, it falls apart when it turns the focus elsewhere, and its depictions of all Turks as swarthy, corrupt, and sadistic is pretty inexcusable.
