Brubaker (1980) - Blu-ray Forum

Quote:

Robert Redford stars in this potent drama based on the real life story of Tom Murton, the prison superintendent who rocked Arkansas politics when he exposed scandalous abuses and murders in a state prison. Posing as a new prisoner, Brubaker (Redford) discovers vast corruption in a state penitentiary before revealing himself to be the new warden. His personal crusade to bring reform puts him in grave danger, especially when he insists on exposing a series of secret murders that took place years earlier. Powerful and disturbing, Brubaker won acclaim for its gritty realism and Oscar-Nominated original screenplay.

Ah, finally. I have waited for this film to be released on Blu-ray.

Dickieduvet · 03-02-2013, 02:50 PM

Fantastic Film, One of Redford's best.

The Last Castle would be a nice plus as well.....

Agreed.

Excellent. Look forward to this one and glad I didn't get the DVD, which I've almost done on a few occasions.

Scottie · 03-08-2013, 08:26 PM

This is the Canadian cover for those interested. It will more than likely be the same as the U.S. one, minus the French on the package.

Every time I hear Brubaker I think of Big Stein!

At the 1:00 mark

Ill be buying this.

HD Goofnut · 03-15-2013, 09:11 PM

I used to have Brubaker on VHS. It's definitely one of Redford's better film's that he has starred in. I'll take it for $10 or less.

Me too that is why I refrained from day one. Looks like The Electric Horseman wont ever see the light of day. And I am sure RR is happy about that.

Any news if this will be region locked?

We will have to wait since it's Fox. They are always a crap shoot when it comes to region coding.

Dickieduvet · 04-24-2013, 11:48 PM

Several Ebay sellers and HD Movie Source have this & The Verdict as region ABC yet DVDWorld USA has them both as locked.

I'm more inclined to believe it's free going by DVDWorld's track record at getting info correct!

Wow, no comments yet? Watching it now. The PQ is spectacular for a movie it's age. Wasn't expecting that. I'd give it a 4/5 rating. Some of the close up scenes even get a 4.5/5 rating. You can see every line on Redford's face.
