Revenge is a dish best served cold.......
By a customer from England , 16 Aug 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
'You made you own bed now lay in it' springs to mind when you hear that 4 young boys are sent to a young offenders institute for killing a man during a childish prank which went wrong. However, the people who were supposed to look after them chose to abuse and degrade them instead.
A classic case of an eye for an eye, but done with finese (apart from the first case!). A really strong cast, great story, great acting - what more can I say? Oh, and have a box of tissues handy.- Was this review helpful to you?

By vaclove (8 reviews) , 04 May 2013One of the best movies I have seen recently. Great story that just sucks you into a 70's deprived New York neighborhood showing lot of authentic characters. The movie will make you think and digest the true life story you are about to see.- Was this review helpful to you?

Together they remember there joint past when they tragically without mallice killed a baby which put them in jail for murder. There they were bullied, physically, verbally and sexually abused.

A harrowing tale but beautifully filmed
By Quirkyfilms (1 review) , 23 Nov 2012A harrowing tale which is superbly directed and the characters are well developed. I would have liked to see Robert De Niro's character more developed and felt like there was something lacking as a result.
It is beautifully filmed and the casting is very good. Well worth a watch - but be warned it's not happy story by any means.- Was this review helpful to you?

A story line to match Jimmy Saville
By a customer , 24 Oct 2012Good script , good acting, The story reflects the currently exposed abhorrent culture of Jimmy Saville but with an excellent revenge story- Was this review helpful to you?
