"Brubaker" (1980) - Director Stuart Rosenberg's Prison Drama Starring Robert Redford

I thought I'd seen "Brubaker," and perhaps I did, because there are individual scenes I clearly remember. 

However, in seeing this movie again today, I thought it was much more boring than it should have been - it's a good story on paper, but actually watching it just wasn't very fun.

Brubaker isn't a "bad" movie; but given its star power, and the fact that it took itself so deadly seriously, it should have been better.

One thing I learned is about the Trusty System, which, yay, educated me and made me a better person. Yippee, get me a beer.

This is beautiful cinematography:
