The pain. It's too much for most people to bear. whatever you do to the least of my brethren I do to you this is a lot like the Jerry Sandusky story... how he abused hundreds of boys, probly a' he was abused the funny thing is the joke seems to be on the abuser and the abusee tell me more about the sexual abusers or abusees... Kevin Bacon character... what created that monster? let's resurrect Sleepers 2 that rat scene, in the cell, that was pretty raw. DARK. if people knew what was going on in here they'd make a move out of It a reporter and a DA help a kid who killed a guard sleeper was a street name for anyone who spent time in a juvy facitlity sleeper has also been a cloak and dagger term for a spy was Richard tracy a spy, Richard tracy was a cop he took on gangsters a sleeper cell is a collection of spies that loosely work together until called upon to act Shakes kinda got his friends involved with the gang stuff yankees tickets when they ask father bobby to lie on the witness stand it's a covenant he breaks to his boys or a covenant he breaks with himself (his fear) there's not a lot of shots of the jury... it's as if they all believe the truth is greater than opinion, but the art of the law involves persuasion that is interesting... this cop he confesses on the stand under oath incriminating himself... german or belarusan or slovakian immigrant the guys that shot the bad guy were not michael not did the guys kill the guy if they only shot himself cirrhosis of the liver, maybe he'd be dead in 6 months. might ah did him a favor CRUDUP PITT PATRIC ELDARD There's a twist ----- the twist may have been the 2,3,4,5 acts where the prosecution pretends to be the defense and the defense pretends to be the prosecution frankie valle jersey boys crucifix and a wallet with an id in his pocket?

I cannot understand why anyone would berate this film. See more James B. @JamesBass Sep 20 Charles Dickens, in Great Expectations, reflects: “That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.” This reflection perfectly captures the essence of Sleepers. All of our lives unfold day by day, shaped by ordinary routines and unforeseen events. For some, life flows smoothly, untroubled by sudden disruptions. But for others, a single day can introduce a moment so profound that it irrevocably alters the trajectory of their existence. Sleepers portrays this haunting truth, showing how one fateful incident in childhood sets in motion a chain of events that reverberates through the lives of its characters, leaving an indelible mark on their futures. The film boasts strong performances all around—from Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon, and Jason Patric, to Minnie Driver and the rest of the cast. The plot flows beautifully, unfolding with precision and emotional weight, guided by solid direction that never lets the story lose its grip on the audience.
