Review of Animal Factory (2000) by Dustin L — 02 Apr 2007
This was a very good prison film especially seeing as how it was Steve Buscemi's first and if I'm certain only shot at directing. This was a movie that hasn't ever really gotten a lot of attention but really is a great film with an awesome cast.
Edward Furlong gives a great performance as a 21 year old sent to prison for the first time and completely unaware of what he is getting into. But he becomes friends with a character played by Willem Dafoe and Dafoe gives yet another great performance. Something that we have gotten used to seeing out of him. Dafoe teaches Furlong all about prison and the things you have to do to survive. Other great acting jobs in this movie were given by Danny Trejo and Mickey Rourke. Mickey Rourke plays a cross dresser in this film and man does he make an ugly woman.
All in all a very good underground film that not many people have heard of full of great performances.
