Review of Brubaker (1980) by Tor M — 11 Jun 2017
A prison with inmates that get punished and tortured is getting out of controll, so when Henry Brubaker is becoming the new warden, big changes must come. And they do. Suddenly everyone are treated with respect, the inmates are taking part of changes and rules and in general it seems a much greater place.
It's development is OK and it looks all right, still it seems a bit easy and sloppy in it's methods of telling the story of why the methods actually works. Some nastier scenes but never a 18 certificate for me. Solid acting by Robert Redford as the lead, some prisoners also acts well. It's cool to see a younger Morgan Freeman here too, but he never gets much screentime. OK, but nothing more. Never especially exciting or gripping.
6 out of 10 sunglases.
