Wow, just wow! What a movie! Full of emotions and a close look at the harsh reality. I'm totally speechless.
This movie is about four friends who end up in a juvenile prison after a prank goes wrong. In prison they experience unimaginable amount of physical, mental and sexual abuse by four prison guards. Several years later two of the four boys now adults decide to extract revenge by killing one of the guards and the rest of the movie is about how they deal with the consequences of this action.
This movie is based on a true story written by one of the four boys this story is about. It gives us a picture of the atrocities experienced by young boys in a juvenile prison. Many would like to sweep it under the carpet and pretend these incidents don't happen but as the saying goes "the truth is stranger than fiction".
Beautifully executed and directed by Barry Levinson. The pacing was great and the performances by all the actors especially Brad Pitt and Robert De Niro were amazing!
