Sleepers (1996)
Country: US
Technical: col 147m
Director: Barry Levinson
Cast: Kevin Bacon, Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Jason Patric, Brad Pitt
Synopsis:
In New York's Hell's Kitchen four teenage boys are abused by guards at their juvenile correction centre, and fate ultimately provides them with a means of revenge, thanks to the solidarity of their community.
Review:
A misguided version of the kind of films the director made about Baltimore, the trouble being that the cosy unity depicted here sits uneasily with vigilantism, perversions of justice and a man of the cloth lying under oath.
