Writer and director Barry Levinson adapted the autobiographical novel by Lorenzo Carcaterra about four friends in Hell's Kitchen, New York. After a disastrous prank, they are sent to a detention center where they are physically and sexually abused by the vicious guards. Years later through a chance encounter, the friends start taking revenge on the guards with the help of local priest and mob boss. What's striking about the story is the complex bond of a community that manages to beat the system by getting away with murder. The all star cast includes Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon and Minnie Driver amongst others. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
