Dustin Hoffman burns with quiet intensity in Straight Time (1978), a crime drama about a parolee who can’t escape the pull of his old life. Based on a novel by real-life ex-con Edward Bunker, the film’s authenticity makes it one of the most underrated crime stories of the 70s. With Harry Dean Stanton and Gary Busey in memorable supporting roles, this is a gritty, no-frills portrait of a man at war with himself, and one of Hoffman’s best performances. #MidnightMovieSnack #StraightTime #DustinHoff
