(Steve Buscemi, 2000)
can become friends in a prison? One of those tough, the kind where guests are really shady, where nothing is done without a second end and where everything has a price. It 'really possible? Obviously and fortunately I do not know. Something more can you say Edward Bunker, author of the short novel on which the film was taken here and also writer and actor in a marginal role. Guest from an early age and many years of the nation's prisons have the right experience to tell a credible story featuring realistic characters and an excellent reconstruction environment.
The first director and actor Steve Buscemi , will rely on the same writer, and follows with good fidelity Bunker's novel. It also carves out a minor part and the square in front of the camera a cast really got it right. Among the players the best
Willem Dafoe in the part of veteran Earl Copen, the rookie Ron Decker is played by the young Edward Furlong . The two are surrounded by a series of faces jail stand out among them the faces of the same Bunker, Danny Trejo of ( Machete ) in the role of Vito and to an unrecognizable (when ever it is) Mickey Rourke, a transvestite cellmate Ron.
Ron Young was convicted for selling soft drugs. Family support is so strong and the boy is found overnight in an environment that does not know, which does not know the codes or the rules. A very harsh environment. Ron
meat is fresh, young, pricey. Somehow come in contact with Earl Copen, a guest of the prison for a long time and character of some influence within it. Earl takes to heart the fate of the boy who now shows courage and a certain desire for independence within the prison. But you do not survive alone, we must join a group.
The imperative is to get smoothly to a review of sentence, something easier said than done. We must toe the line and certainly not yield to provocations. Defend and not to offend.
The film brings to light the usual dilemma: punishment or rehabilitation creates monsters?
Spotlight on the relationship between the two convicts, the dynamics inside the prison and racial tensions are ever present in films of this genre.
Anyone who has read the book will not disappoint, in fact. The plot of the story written characters and interpretation of data is respected by the actors involved is always good. Willem Dafoe, but above all do not you find some now.
A good piece in the genre film / prison.
