An amazing film that is both perfectly cast and epicly told. Brad Pitt and Jason Patrick led a flawless cast that all gave tremendous performances. Kevin Bacon was especially disturbing. The mood of the film is what makes it so beautiful. All of the visuals reflect a dying city with little hope, much like the lives of the four leads.

This is truly a great movie which expresses sweet revenge and being a true friend to the end. In this movie a few friends made a bad decision which lands them in Juvenile Prison. There were torture and rapes repeatedly through out there duration there. Upon growing up two of the young men got sweet revenge and ended up repeating history and went to jail. The other two friends were in the position to help so they did. At the same time getting a Pastor to turn the other cheek and lie on the stand under oath. All of the cast did a great job in playing there part.perfect for you to watch.worth your time. this scores a perfect score from me.

I love this movie for its honesty, and sadness... But most of all i feel for these 4 boys, and all the other young boys around in this world being abused. Carcaterra you have my respect! I think the cast in this movies is awesome and they all do an incredible job playing the main characters... The boys in particular... I am sure those scenes where they were abused was hard to do...This is a must see film for all people, and a must read book as well. It is brilliant, and really honest. A true story about 4 boys worst nightmares at a boys home, and how they got their revenge...It is so brilliant that i am amused it is a true story, and not a Hollywood written screenplay.... Amused in a positive way!

Great classic, a wonderful, how does this play out. A sad tale with an incredible outcome. It held my whole family from 9 to 50, completely struck by the genius of paybacks, legally. The same system that created their horrid incarceration, eventually played out to payback the ones that betrayed them in the first place. It is also true
