Kevin Bacon

Raises a number of interesting and disturbing questions...[but] takes artistic and intellectual missteps...deserves some credit for its performances and provocation.

Whether you want to credit or blame Friday the 13th for its role in influencing modern cineplex cinema is a matter of taste.

A superb, stylish piece of modern mythology.

Despite it all, just try to take your eyes off this movie: skillfully crafted by Levinson, Sleepers is eminently watchable, deeply emotional, and populated with top acting talent.

Stars Depp in a performance generating awards talk, makes a complicated story coherent without dumbing it down (much), lets a bunch of strong actors do their things, and yet inspires little more than adjectives like 'efficient' and 'workmanlike.'

'Terror bad. Boston strong.'

Lots of punniness in this scattershot and ambitious horror film, which depicts the horrors of gay conversion therapy as scarier and more horrific than the story's slasher elements.
