Review of Sleepers (1996) by Mike H — 06 Jan 2011

It looks great for mid-'90s Hollywood, but dear sweet Lord, what a one-sided, idiotic Scorsese rip-off about how all Italians are serial murderers but we should cheer for them in end. Layered with stupid and riddled with holes, "Sleepers" even tries to hook the female audience that came for Brad Pitt by slopping together a love-story-that-could-have-been in the middle of a dramatic moment about child rape, complete with cheesy '90s quirky gettin'-stuff-done music.
