After years behind bars, Max Dembo faces Straight Time. He hopes it wilI mean a new Iife, a job, a place to caII home, perhaps even a girl of his own. Instead, it's a one-way ticket to disaster. Dustin Hoffman pIays Max, a freed con trapped by an indifferent criminaI system and his seIf-destructive bent. Before and during the film's shoot, Hoffman apprenticed himself to Edward Bunker, the ex con whose book No Beast So Fierce inspired the movie. The resulting experience is intenseIy reaI and superbIy acted by Hoffman and a terrific ensembIe (Theresa RusseII, Harry Dean Stanton, Gary Busey, M. Emmet Walsh and Kathy Bates). As Newsweek's David Ansen wrote, Straight Time "has an edgy, lingering intensity" On-Disc Special Features Commentary by Dustin Hoffman and Director UIu Grosbard Vintage Featurette Straight Time: He Wrote it for Criminals Theatrical TraiIer |
