Additional InformationTommy, John, Michael, and Shakes are four young teenage punks growing up in the streets of Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen in the mid-1960s. When these four friends pull a prank that that goes awry, they find themselves serving time at the Wilkinson School for Boys, where they are repeatedly and sadistically violated and tortured by four guards--the most menacing being Noles, portrayed by Kevin Bacon. Fifteen years later, the foursome is still dealing with the emotional repercussions of their abuse. Tommy (Billy Crudup) and John (Ron Eldard) have become common criminals, and when they spot Noles in a local watering hole they can't pass up the chance for revenge. It's up to Shakes (Jason Patric), a low-profile newspaper employee, and Michael (Brad Pitt), a lawyer with the district attorney's office, to save their friends while keeping the details of their tortured childhoods secret. Dustin Hoffman appears as Danny Snyder, and Robert De Niro stars as Father Bobby, the local neighborhood priest who is as comfortable on the streets or in a bar as he is behind the pulpit. Based on the allegedly true story by Lorenzo Carcaterra, the film is directed by Barry Levinson (DINER, RAIN MAN).
ReviewsFilm4 - Disturbing, but compelling and provocative., Rolling Stone - ...Superbly played....Levinson shows a keen eye for the pangs of adolescence..., Variety - ...Colorful characters, richly evoked settings...and a good dose of good old-fashioned epic star power....There's a lot to enjoy in this impeccably structured, handsomely produced saga..., Time Magazine - It is all legally preposterous. But Levinson is a slick craftsman, his actors are insinuatingly real, and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus casts a disarmingly believable light on these proceedings.

Lessons will be learned...oh yeah and pigs might fly too!
Convincing character players throughout with a real life story to tell that, once again, puts our human society to shame. Perhaps the film dwelled on the 'filth' for too long and could more beneficially have looked at the 'cover up' systems that allowed this to be perpetrated? Nevertheless, well worth watching and particularly noting Hoffman in the role of a 'washed up ' solicitor...…....a role that is non too easy to handle when an audience of decent viewers is longing for the wrongs to be very forcefully righted.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
