Review – Midnight Express

Here’s the grim and brutal story of an American youth who got caught trying to smuggle hash out of Turkey in the early 70s. So come prepared for a couple of hours’ worth of sheer brutality as our protagonist is tortured to the brink of madness by cruel guards, evil inmates, increased sentences, and other miscellaneous trappings of the third world prison experience. Needless to say, this film didn’t exactly do wonders for Turkey’s tourism industry. Mildly amusing
