    How can over 2000 ppl give this movie the lowest possible score of 1/10 there should be some rule like you can't vote more then+/- 5 of the average score. I can understand someone not likeing the movie but 1 would mean it was just terrible and compeletely unwatchable, if this movie was worth a 1 then where would worse movies end up, because i do believe there most be worse movies, no mather the perspective

        that's why imdb use weighted rate, not average. in fact, 10% of 1s don't make such impact and the score (7.6) is much higher than arithmetic average (7.2).

            I love this movie, but sister absolutely hates it, saying that the movie glorifies a drug smuggler in some sense. Some people may see this movie and feel that Billy Hayes deserved what he had coming because of the decisions he made. I wouldn't be surprised if those 1 votes are from people who disliked his actions.

                because you are not able to understand how bad is to be slandered of your nation that she has no role about the factActually there had been no reality about the fact, Brad Davis confessed that all of the events were just fiction and he sorried from Turkey and Turkish people because of this. So, now you learnt why we give 1/10 to this movie.

                          I'm Spaniard. There are many films where Spain's image is incorrect or offensive. But if the film is a good movie, to rate it negatively is typical of retard people. Life is democracy, although we have put up with people would inmolate in the name of GOD.

                              There are more people who voted with a 10/10!
                              Come on! Can such a movie among the best ever? For anybody? I have given a lot of 10/10 myself but most of those movies are among the best 250 of imdb and usually, they are not new.
                              "Midnight Express" is a movie full of stereotypes. Did you actually realize that there is not one single good Turk in the movie.
                              Watch the youtube video of the real Bill Hayes. He himself hated that in the movie.

                                  There are people who will give a 1 to a movie just because they don't like the politics (or whatever) of someone involved. I'm sure there are also people who will, for example, give a 10 to every John Wayne or Charlton Heston movie just because he's their hero.
                                  Netflix has a much better rating system, where they examine the ratings given by other people with similar movie tastes. From this, they give you a customized rating that tries to predict how much you will like the movie.

                                    The thing is, not all people should have the right to vote real life, and in other things IMDB.
                                    Not everyones opinion should be taken serious.
                                    This is true, for not everyone is reasonable.

                                      This movie based on a lie but sold like a truth. That's why people give 1.

                                        Its a movie meaning fiction. Or there is actually a planet called pandora? well who knows maybe in 2100 we will know because if it is in a movie it must be true. I will try to play golf like Happy and maybe i could beat Tiger Woods. 😄
