Review By Laura Abraham
Throughout this nightmarish tale
of injustice, director Alan Parker never allows the audience's sense of
fear and dread to wane. It is impossible to shake the feeling of
insanity brought upon by the corrupt Turkish prison system, so vividly
portrayed here. The murky, hazy camerawork further enhances the
alienation. Though often unbearably frustrating and graphically violent,
Midnight Express is an exceptional accomplishment from Parker and
screenwriter Oliver Stone; one need only look at pale imitations such as Brokedown Palace and Return to Paradise to gauge its quality.
