Product Description

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Anamorphic Widescreen, Commentary, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Ron, who's young, slight, and privileged, is sentenced to prison on marijuana charges. For whatever reason, he brings out paternal feelings in an 18-year prison veteran, Earl Copan, who takes Ron under his wing. The film explores the nature of that relationship, Ron's part in Earl's gang, and the way Ron deals with aggressive cons intent on assault and rape. There's casual racism, too, in the prisoners and the guards, a strike called by Black prisoners, and the nearly omnipresence of hard drugs. Ron's lawyer is working on getting Ron out quickly, Earl has a shot at parole, and death seems to be waiting in the next cell. Will prison turn Ron into an animal?

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST-Have Cult Classic prison film in HD!
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2022

The media could not be loaded.
 Steve Buscemi while not only being an amazing and beloved actor, is also an amazing Director as is seen in Animal Factory. I remember seeing this movie back in 2001 or so, when it first came out and it has been extremely hard to find since then! So to locate this awesome retro style Blur-ay collector's edition was a true gift. Not only do you get an amazing prison film for those like me who love the genre, whether it be Shawshank Redemption or others, Animal Factory, which is shot in an actual prison, definitely gives you a hard and real look into the prison system, and the story in the film keeps you hypnotized with its constant change in tone and edginess. Definitely a slow burning roller coaster as I would strangely call it. To put it simply, It's a gem that should be watched and added to the collection of any film lover! You never know when it'll be available again that's for sure!

5.0 out of 5 stars just when I thought Mickey Rourke couldn't make himself less attractive.....
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2015

This was a very interesting and disturbing movie that came out in 2000. Steve Buscemi and Danny Trejo were producers of this movie starring both of them and Edward furlong and Willam Dafoe and Eddie Bunker and most disturbingly Mickey Rourke. The name apparently comes from the unfortunate truth about what penal institutions can do to a person who enters on a minor charge to be abused and brutalized to such an extent that they emerge changed forever and not for the better. Mr Dafoe gives a powerful performance as does Mr Furlong as Mr furlong drifts further and further into despair as the horrific treatment he receives changes him forever. This is in spite of the fact that Mr Dafoe takes him under his wing and tries to protect and guide him in prison survival skills. Mr Trejo was of course strangely powerful yet comfortable in his role as a cohort of mr Dafoe. This movie was based on a novel by Mr Bunker. Steve Buscemi has a relative probably his brother in the movie as a prison counselor. He looks so much like his brother I thought it was him. He is a sort of "STEVE BUSCEMI LIGHT" as he has softer features. I would definitely watch this again.. By far the most disturbing image for me was Mickey Rourke with full make up fake eyelashes and fake nails not quite wearing women's underwear and a push up bra. Now THAT was disturbing. If you can get that image out of your mind the movie is quite good and thought provoking.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie. I had just re-watched Angel Heart and wanted to see other movies Mickey Rourke was in. I thought he was going to be the "mentor." He did play his part well.

What I liked about the movie is that you weren't 100% certain of Defoe's character's intention. Yeah, you want to believe he was helping what's his face out of the kindness of his heart. But, there was a nagging feeling that the other shoe was going to drop.

He did admit to what's his face that he desired a connection, a feeling. That was probably the most prolific way of explaining how a prisoner could yearn for companionship, connection, etc. You know, if people want to have mutually consensual relationships in prison, go right ahead. But, yeah — I am not so naíve to be oblivious to sociopaths and psychopaths that get off (literally) by raping.

Anywho, at first — with the title, I thought what's his face was going to end up super-hardened, because he was in the "Animal Factory."

A must watch. Is this based on a novel? I forgot to check.

Very well done. Not one of my all time favorites, but worthy of prison genre movies. Really would have liked to see Mickey Rourke's (sp?) character more developed in this movie as I did like his character within the framework. William Defoe ...oh my well how can you go wrong with him or Danny Trejo! These guys are such legends. Also, loved seeing the Sons of Anarchy actor who played Bobbie on the SONS series. Really well casted. Steve Buscemi did a great job directing and really happy to see him star in this movie too.

Like I said, well done and if you enjoy prison films, this is good.

Before I watched the movie I did research on animal slaughter houses and factories in the United States. I needed to understand the Metaphorical aspect of the title of the movie and its storyline. I was surprised to see animals squeezed into block cells before being slaughtered. Then I watched the movie and the deux- machina juxtaposition slammed me in face, at the beginning as prisoners walked out of those similar slaughter block cells. Where the prisoners human souls coming off of animal slaughters? The Director made it so evident that for a second I thought William Dafoe was going to ruffle a feather from underneath his armpit as he spoke to the other prisoners. The cast was excellent, William Dafoe made me smile, he finally played a nice guy, and Mickey Rourke well his Ms. Jan was exemplary of his Method and Technique acting. I loved his character, his make-up, even the green nail polish. He made me smile, then laugh and then want to call him up and invite him out to party at La-Rue D'Paris at the Champs D'Leyselles (forgot the spelling) with a lonely gal. I'd classify the movie as a Powerful Classic with an important message.

This movie is pure fantasy, although it does illustrate the precarious survival in a place where you are either a hunter or the prey. Sometimes there is no in between. I love the sincerity of the actors. Mickey Rourke plays a troubled transvestite that seems normalized. I loved it. I was in prison about the time Edward Bunker wrote the novel. It was a time before the gangs and color separation became a way of prison life. The movie shows the camaraderie and love between guys joined in mutual survival. To have lived closely with men who you can trust with your life is an unforgettable experience, and to know that you willingly compromised yourself for their survival seems surreal when I look back gratefully. I enjoyed the book and have watched the movie more than a couple of times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prison-movie notevole
Reviewed in Italy on March 24, 2024

Bel film carcerario girato a inizio secolo da Steve Buscemi. Stile secco, lento, senza moralismi, basato su personaggi non stereotipati, dove la violenza della prigione è ritratta come un fatto acquisito. Willem Dafoe, ottimo, è il leader di una banda con il compito di proteggere un giovane detenuto nel nuovo ambiente. Anohny, cantante transgender, fa un cameo, mentre Mickey Rourke come carcerato travestito sorprende i suoi fan. Dvd buono, formato panoramico ottimizzato per la tv in 16.9. Due lingue (italiano in due Dolby) e inglese con sottotitoli.

I don’t know what I liked about this movie so much maybe it’s all to do with my willem Dafoe phase but it’s a great movie being Scottish I don’t know if this is how the American prison system worked in the 80’s but I’d love to think there was a jan the actress out there somewhere.
