Review of Animal Factory (2000) by Lukasz S — 24 Apr 2010
Quite faithful adaptation of Edward Bunkers "inspired-by-real-life-experiences" novel of the same title with Buscemi on the helm. The prison life is shown in its ruthless reality and paraoina (about getting played, raped or worse) is nicely portayed.
Dafoe hits the mark as an aging prisoner taking the young "fish" under his wing and showing him the ropes of survival. The end is falters a bit but otherwise this is solid indie film making.
