Review of Sleepers (1996) by Mohamad91Hk — 19 May 2020
Nice movie and heart breaking story. Briefly, the first half of film talk about four boys (friends) were abused by prison guards and the second half show you the boys after 13 years (became an adults) how they will revenge.
Actually, I connect with the first half more (boys part), on the second half I didn't feel they are same characters. I think if the film start with adult part and show what happened to them as a flashback, it will be better.
There is something confused also, why they didn't tell anyone what is happening with them when there were boys, I know they felt shame, but rationally they could tell the priest when he was visiting them or their family, they could tell them since the abuse started. Also why they took 13 years to revenge, it looks like revenge by coincidence!!
Anyway, the film is nice and watchable, it could be better but no matter now.
