Sleepers

 

USA 1996, 147 minutes
Dir. Barry Levinson
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Drama, Suspense/Crime

 

Aroview: Based on a purportedly fact-based novel by Lorenzo Carcaterra, a disastrous prank lands four schoolboys in a borstal where they suffer ritualised sexual abuse.

Fifteen years later, a convoluted courtroom drama evolves after two of the victims engage in murderous retribution. Stellar cast fail to enliven the leaden, self-important storytelling or overcome the dubious assumption that the audience is rooting for this kind of 'justice'.
