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. -

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.

Exactly. There are as many "undeserving" (whatever that means) 10s on imdb as there are 1s - many more actually. And although some people use it in ways many of us wouldn't think of as appropriate, I think it's as good a system as we're going to get. I haven't used Netflix, but I seem to recall reading that the predicted rating wasn't that useful at generating good recommendations. Whatever the case, it's not quite comparing the same thing, since Netflix is a recommendation-driven site that is geared towards the individual user, whereas imdb has only marginal recommendation features and is geared more to a general user base rather than tailored to each of us.

This is a great movie. Better than Shawshank Redemption or any of the classic prison-escape movies. IMO this is the best one.
The reason it's 'only' rated 7.7 on here is probably because of politics. Some people are so against drugs that they don't feel bad for the guy. But to me, the movie is a lot more realistic than if they'd have made him completely innocent. And of course some people won't like the fact that the Turkish people are portrayed as unsympathetic and scary. But it's just a movie. And in the American prison-movies, many characters are portrayed as bad guys too.
