Sleepers - 6

What is justice? How do humans do justice? This film shows the vigilante version (somewhat similar to A Time to Kill). Based on the memoir of Lorenzo Carcaterra, the story follows the life of four boys who were abused by a guard in a juvenile facility keep silent about the abuse and then exact their revenge on the perpetrators. All of the characters in there own way have to deal with the moral complexity of the situation. It does not take these questions lightly, which makes it a worthwhile film.
