I really liked this movie. Kevin Bacon is such a sick bastard in this flick. If revenge floats your boat, this is a movie for you!

I give Sleepers a

GREAT movie. Haven't seen in a while, but I loved it.

IIRC, Great Soundtrack also.

If anyone cares, I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie on DVD at Walmart for $10 or somethin'.

Yeah, I definitely care! Thanks for the heads up.


Robert De Niro had an awesome role in this movie.

The only thing that sucks is that the movie is on both sides of the dvd. I really hate that.

Yep, an all star cast. I'll admit it, I like Brad Pitt in movies. :eek:

I liked the movie. Does anyone know whether it really is based on a true story?

haha, it's ok. I like Brad Pitt also....err...I mean in movies. But Sleepers wasn't my favorite of his, I would have to go with Fight Club or Se7en.

It's based on this book. It looks like it is based on a true story, unfortunately.

stormbv, at the end of the movie there is a notice basically saying the state of New York denies everything in the movie.

I read that Brad Pitt is making a movie right now called Troy, based on Greek mythology. He plays Achilles...awesome!:D

Ahh, okay. I was reading about the book on Amazon, and it said it was a memoir of what the author experienced at that juvenile facility. I sure hope it's fictional...

Yeah, I think it also says at the end of the movie that the author insists it is all true. I guess the only people who really know are the people who were or were not involved...

I thought that movie was extremely boring and dumb.

It had such a wonderful cast and yet they produced a pile of crap.

It is a very disturbing movie but a great one. I love revenge stories for some reason. It is actually on it's way to me from netflix as I type :)

A disturbing movie indeed, but amazing performances, especially by Kevin Bacon who is one of my favourite actors. He has a real talent for playing psychopaths. That's not why I like him, though. Eeeerrr... I'll just shut up.
