A good, not great, movie that reps a solid, mid-career performance by Redford.

I never felt that I was wasting my time watching 'Brubaker,' only that it could have been a more dramatic and taut prison movie-which is odd, because it's directed by Stuart Rosenberg ('Cool Hand Luke').

intense and a bit cliched
March 01, 2004
Robert Redford, in a surprise acting tour de force, really stretches his style and mannerisms to become Henry Brubaker.
June 09, 2013
The first half-hour is powerful stuff, but after Brubaker reveals his true identity, the movie begins to falter, with the one-dimensional nature of the characters (particularly the warden himself) eventually stripping the story of any dramatic charge.
June 12, 2012
Inspired by fact, this politically conscious prison drama is well written (script was Oscar nominated), but only decently acted by Redford, who might not have been the right choice.

Robert Redford puts in a stellar performance as a zealous prison reformer in this meditation on the ardor of idealism.
April 08, 2006
Redford is the main attraction, obviously, even though his princely good looks -- like the movie's 'idealistic crusader against the Establishment' earnestness -- are almost too much of a good thing.

It was hard to sit through two hours of such brutality and misery and say you enjoyed it.
