The Siege at Ruby Ridge (1996) Laura Dern (DVDrip, opt subs) torrent

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117523/

With Laura Dern, Randy Quaid and a very young Kirsten Dunst (then only 14).

Optional subtitles in idx/sub files: English, French.

True story of the controversial 1992 attack by federal agents on an Idaho sect family. The incident caused major public outcry against the FBI and U.S. Marshals.

This film changes angels several times. In the beginning, we may suspect Christian fundamentalist propaganda until we understand that the purpose is to disclose such fanatism. Then our sympathy starts to build up for this family whose members just want to live in peace according to their own doomsday faith - until their Armageddon is manifested by the FBI. The court hearing at the end is simply fabulous.

My new ripping procedure now produces decent quality for such a long film (2x90 min) compressed into just 700 MiB. I enclose a sample for ye weak in faith. Believe me, the DVD picture quality is not much better than this.

Original fullscreen, DVDrip XviD 2-pass 608x448, good stereo sound AC3.
Burn tested, runs well in both my standalone DivX players.
