Excellent movie, having just seen it again after a long time. I have no doubt that this story is real, kids‘ lives destroyed after a stupid mistake, it’s coming and get you just as easy as that. The guards satisfying their sadistic desires without much of an oversight, and whatever else was happening at that juvenile for-profit prison. The second half is a Monte Christo story of payback, well told. Acting is superb by all, no one to single out specifically. Those who think it’s a hoax, think again. Juvenile records are apparently destroyed after a while, and the guard‘s testimony was stricken from the court records. So, if the story is true, there is no proof of it ever happening, right? Nevertheless tragic, one of those movies that stick with you for a long time…
The movie is what is really happening to our children but nobody wants to believe it. Great movie and acting.
best movie of brad pitt
A well put together motion picture. It puts to shame some of the stuff coming out of Hollywood today.
I think that "Sleepers" should be on everyone`s MUST READ list. Some will decide to be the "Reform" and some will move forward to `Revenge`; it will and always has been a choice.
Sleepers is the best movie!!!
I`m a real movie buff so the names of the actors is what caused me to watch the movie. I think this movie is under rated and overlooked. Honestly, I ran to the library to find the book by l. carcaterra and can`t wait to read it. It may not have won an Oscar but some other award should have been considered!!!!!!!!

VERY MOVING AND EMOTIONAL MOVIE- STRONG ACTING AND A FLAWLESS STORYLINE,RATED 5
