Review of Sleepers (1996) by Abhilash S — 08 Mar 2012
Watched SLEEPERS. I don't get it why this movie ain't that famous and why is it so under rated! I loved this movie. Loved almost everything about the movie. There are many reasons why this movie can be called a first rate drama.
.. Firstly, a great concept (amazing screenplay and terrific story) carried out in an admirable way by the director Barry Levinson. And then, we have the great star cast in the movie..with some of the best in the business.
Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon, Jason Patric, Billy Crudup, Minnie Driver and Vittorio Gassman. Also the four kids in the first 60 minutes of the movie adds to the talented cast of the movie.
Those kids have the whole first 60 minutes of the movie and they did it exceptionally well. And what's good about the movie is that, every star in the movie has one of their own magical moments in the movie.
Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman proves in this movie again..that why they're considered as legends, they were PERFECT. Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon and Vittorio Gassman are the also the ones who performed splendidly.
The second half of the movie involves the court room drama sort of moments and those were superb. The background score was unusual and perfect. A movie not to be missed by any quality movie lover. A powerful movie! Loved it.
