Title: STEVE BUSCEMI, OPUS 2
Review: ***1/2 2000. Based on Edward Bunker'sAnimal Factory: A Noveland directed by Steve Buscemi. Ron Decker is 21 years old and has just been condemned to a 5 years prison term for having dealt drugs. He is noticed by an older convict, Earl Copen, who decides to protect him. Good prison movie with excellent actors: Willem Dafoe, Edward Furlong and an hardly recognizable Mickey Rourke as Jan the transvestite. The most interesting theme of the film is the strange friendship growing between Dafoe and Furlong, not sexual but rather paternal and protective. Recommended.
