Movie Reviews of Animal Factory [DVD]
Movie Review: Best movie ever made!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Out of everything i own, this movie is one that is SACRED to me... This one is my fave.. I've seen it countless times...
It has a great cast, great director.. Willem Dafoe is amazing in it... I'd have to say out of all the movies he's been in, i'd rate this one as his best!
Not the best movie for Edward Furlong though (<-- i'd have to say T2 for him), but he played his role well..
And ya gotta love Danny Trejo... he's great in every movie.
This movie is pretty realistic... i mean it's written by an actual convict.. Edward Bunker... and there are actual convicts in the movie as extra's, and not to mention Trejo (who is a real con as well... the special features in this movie explains this, and gives interviews... the special features are awesome..).
If you like this movie, look into some more works by Edward Bunker, especially his books, "Education of a Felon" etc...
I can't express enough on how great movie is, so i'll end my review here... if i could give this movie an infinite amount of stars i would, cuase it's that good.
When i was searching for a copy of it, the lowest it sold for was $30, that's what i ended up paying for mine... but i was ready to pay $50 for it... it's definitely worth whatever price it sells for...
Summary of Animal Factory [DVD]
A first time felon is sentenced to two years in prison and is taken under the wing of a veteran inmate.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 7-DEC-2004
Media Type: DVD
Steve Buscemi subtly refines the prison drama in his second film, a rich character piece set in a ramshackle state penitentiary. Edward Furlong is a glum, drug-dealing, middle-class bad boy suddenly drop-kicked into a world in which his sneering defiance just makes him more attractive prey to hardened convicts. Willem Dafoe, a career felon who runs the prison's contraband network, takes the kid under his wing and his protection. He's obviously attracted to the pretty boy and that sexual tension buzzes throughout the film, but their friendship, which is much more complicated, becomes the center of the film.
Buscemi allows the story to trickle along, downplaying the usual prison clichés to delve into the often murky relationships between prisoners, the predatory pecking order, and the undercurrent of racial divisions. He suggests everything in glances, threats, and tensions that only rarely erupt into violence. The film lacks a strong narrative line, but Buscemi's sensitivity to his characters and his sharp ensemble direction provide generous compensation. Dafoe is brilliant as the smiling smooth operator, his shaved head and jagged-toothed grin suggesting both a threatening confidence, and Furlong ably registers the fear of his sheer defenselessness in this dangerous world. Tom Arnold shines as a terrifying bully and Mickey Rourke is almost unrecognizable as Furlong's cross-dressing cellmate with a honeyed Southern lilt and makeup that would make Tammy Faye Bakker proud. --Sean Axmaker
