PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Troubled youth Ron Decker (EDWARD FURLONG) is sentenced to a ten-year stint in the notorious San Quentin State Prison for a drug-dealing conviction. Inexperienced in the ways of prison life, he\u2019s taken under the wing of Earl Copen (WILLEM DAFOE), an experienced con with the entire prison in the palm of his hand \u2013 inmates and guards alike. But as Ron grows increasingly cocky in his privileged role as Earl\u2019s confidant, is he in danger of biting off more than he can chew with some of the jail\u2019s more volatile inhabitants?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

This comes with a 28-page booklet<\/strong> filled with essays and photos. As far as Arrow releases are concerned, it is a tad light with an Audio Commentary<\/u><\/strong> by author Eddie Bunker and Actor Danny Trejo; Eddie Bunker: A Life of Crime (20:50; HD)<\/u><\/strong>, an interview with critic Barry Forshaw discussing the late Eddie Bunker; and the Theatrical Trailer (1:14; HD)<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5, AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Animal Factory<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray through Arrow Video and since the booklet makes no mention of it, doesn\u2019t seem like any restoration work was done (or perhaps needed) and as such the 1.85 1080p high-definition picture looks pretty good with decent detail and colors are more on the muted side with the cold prison setting. The included DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Stereo track sounds nice having clear dialogue levels and some so-so depth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, Animal Factory<\/em><\/strong> is probably more noteworthy for the performances by Edward Furlong and Willem Dafoe than offering anything new in terms of story, and commentary, about prison life. Still worth watching, however. The Arrow Video offers good video\/audio transfers but lackluster with the features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
