"This muckraking melodrama has considerable power and some strong performances" | ||
|
|
|
"'Brubaker' is a well-crafted film that does a harrowingly effective job of portraying the details of its prison, but then it populates it with positions rather than people (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" | ||

"Competent but dreary" | ||
|
|
|
"An earnest, right-minded, consistently unsurprising movie (...) It says a lot about a movie that the only mildly interesting characters in it are those who are corrupt" | ||
|
|
|
"A vivid, entertaining and shamelessly manipulative 'crusading' melodrama" |
