Sleepers

October 29, 2008

Sleepers, A great drama movie! Wonderfully written and the role that the casts portrays made a great impact on the movie. We had a VCD on this one with 3 discs in it. It has been on our CD rack for years and no one seems to bother watching it until I got bored and plan to watch a movie instead. And I am happy to have seen this VCD of ours and have been able to watch it. I wasn’t really interested in watching it because it’s an old movie but when I saw the casts I thought, Why not give this a try, after all the names mentioned on the cover of the disc are great actors in the movie industry, namely: Brad Pitt, Robert de Niro, Kevin Beacon, Dustin Hoffman and Jason Patric. So that was the reason why I was intrigued to watch this movie.

It is really a great and touching story of four childhood friends who was send to Wilkinson School for the Boys for playing a prank on a hot dog vendor and almost kill the man. The boys are being  sadistically beaten, tortured, abused and raped by the head guards of the school. Eventually the boys have been released but the pain and the scar it made are forever carved in their young heart and minds. They gradually drifted apart and after thirteen years the two of them accidentally meet one of the Wilkinson guard and decided to take revenge and killed him. They seek the help of the other two boys who is now a lawyer and a cop to acquit the case of their childhood friend and expose the abuses committed Wilkinson’s.
