Review of Animal Factory (2000) by Daniel S — 11 Aug 2008
This one totally slipped under the radar. A friend of mine let me borrow this and promised that it was a great movie. I tend to agree for the most part. Luckily I was a fan of HBO's Oz, in which this movie plays out like a 1.
75hr episode of the show. Willem Dafoe is a great actor. I have never seen him give a bad performance. Once again, Edward Furlong is stuck in the supporting role. Aside from Brainscan, he has never had top billing (probably because of the rating of Brainscan).
He does have talent but you really don't see him popping up anymore. It was a great surprise to see Tom Arnold pop up as some hillbilly trying to make Furlong his bitch. I can say that this was a good movie, but don't see myself watching it that many more times.
It was good once and that is the extent of it for me. Seems that Buscemi can actually make it as a director. Hopefully someone with throw him a few scripts. Also, it was great to see Mickey Rourke play a drag queen named Jan the Actress.
The story was average and flat but the acting was great. I would check this one out if you ever get a chance.
