When
four New York boys accidentally
kill a man with a hot
dog cart, they are sent
away to a boy's home.
Here, they are tortured
by at the hands of their
guards. Years after their
release, an opportunity
for revenge presents itself.
Sleepers, with its stellar
cast, ranks as one of
the finest modern dramas.
Hoffman, as a tipsy attorney,
doesn't enter the film
until well into it, but
he delivers one of the
finest performances of
his career. Actually,
the whole cast shines
through dark, gripping
drama and scenes of graphic
violence. Half courtroom
drama, and half classic
tale of revenge, Sleepers
is a film you won't soon
forget.
Directed by Barry Levinson.
