The procedural elements are handled expertly. Genuinely powerful portrayals throughout.

tbh I noticed emotionally rich storytelling that earns every beat. The director really knows how to build tension.

★★★★☆ 8.0

‘Sleepers’ uses a disturbing and unnecessary narration to tell its controversial revenge story, though the rich characters and great actors easily make up for that.
