One thing that stands out here is the acting, it is spectacular. You really feel for all the characters especially the boys and the suffering they endure. However, where everything breaks down is the finale. [spoiler] Watching this movie in the 2017 with the number of pedophilia cases and stories in the news and their outcomes makes the ending highly improbable and nearly fantastical. The shooting of Nokes is what real revenge usually is, messy and unplanned. However, the court confession of Ferguson is highly unbelievable. They set up a priest to lie in court but a pedophile is so morally strong that he cannot? The ending plays like a Disney story, where righteousness and justice wins not matter how seemingly impossible the set up.[/spoiler]

***Justifiable execution and justifiable lying***

“Sleepers” (1991) starts out as a coming-of-age film about four boys in 1966-1967 from Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, and then morphs into a juvenile prison picture, which covers the first hour. The rest of the movie is a crime tragedy turned co More

‘Sleepers’ uses a disturbing and unnecessary narration to tell its controversial revenge story, but the rich characters and great actors easily make up for that.

8/10
