\"Sleepers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few days ago I watched “Sleepers<\/a>“.\u00a0 I guess the title of the movie makes it sound like a horror film and that’s why I missed it for all these years.\u00a0 Somehow this time I decided to check the cast and was very surprised to find so many celebrities in – Kevin Bacon, Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, and a few others.<\/p>\n

The film turned out be excellent.\u00a0 First of all, the story, which is fascinating.\u00a0 It is said to be based on a true story, however there are only so many people who can back it up.\u00a0 But it’s not really important if it is true or not.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s realistic enough and has enough unexpected twists and turns.<\/p>\n

Secondly, plenty of good acting.\u00a0 There was enough freedom given to each of the actors, and there was enough to explore and enough screen time to show the results.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, the technical part.\u00a0 While the film didn’t need as much of special effects as any modern action film (which it is not), there were quite a few challenges, which were solved nicely.\u00a0 The back in time feeling, boys’ memories, and the atmosphere for each scene, varying from childish fun to adult sadness – all were done excellent.<\/p>\n

Overall, a highly recommended movie with 5 stars<\/strong> from me.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
