Answers: It rarely gets mentioned but it has a great plot and excellent performances from de Niro and Hoffman.

Absolutely one the most emotional films that I've encountered. I personally don't deal well with seeing or hearing about child abuse, let alone, sexual abuse to a child. So this film really touched my heart. The entire cast was amazing.

I always think about how those boys would have turned out if they hadn't gone to that hell hole. I try remember that it's a story but bits and pieces of it is from a real life situation and that's what makes this story even sadder.

I love the nickname "Shakes"....

Yes I liked it.

Yes, it was and is a good film.

I dont think so....it is good

I loved that movie... Incredibly tragic story about how one moment shapes so many lives so differently.

I bought the book when it first came out and I thought it was a great book. Then like 3-4 years later, they were making a movie about it and I got alllll excited and went to see it at the theatres. I was disappointed. Not as good as the book at all. But overall, for a movie, I like it though. Read the book!

Have a happy day!

It was a good film. Robert de Niro was Good as a priest.

hehe, did you watch it on tv last night also?

I thought it was really good, seems like one a lot of people miss. I watched it a few years ago when i worked at a video store and really enjoyed it. caught it last night and was reminded what a great movie it is. I really like the whole beginning part, giving u a detailed story of the boys and everything, then how they all grew up and were still loyal to eachother. excellent cast and great story. i think kevin bacon did great, i usually cant stand watching him. de niro and hoffman are excellent as usual.

Yes, great movie

I thought it was one of the best movies I have seen. The story line is sad, actually henious, but nonetheless that kind of thing happens. From the event to the revenge. Great cast of characters! Good movie! Loved it! I actually have it in my dvd collection!

I think it is one of the best movies and yes it does get overlooked alot, great cast that not only has De Niro and Hoffman but Brad Pitt and Kevin Beacon ( who got what he deserved in the movie)
The movie to me has all the elements of a great movie, i think im going to go and watch it right now.

I loved the story since the book came out. I saw it in the theater & had it on VHS but I guess I have to re-buy it on DVD, just like all my old movies :o(

Yes, I agree that it was a very good movie. When it came out, though, the author claimed it was a true story and an autobiography, but then he recanted saying that he made up most of it.

It stands alone as a good movie, but the public felt cheated when they found out it wasn't really true.

At first i thought it was going to suck, then found myself involved. ie. OH NO (Hoffman) thats going to be the boys attorney? Also Kevin Bacon is one of the most overlooked actors of all time. His charachters cover the span from good to evil. I think the fim was good but Bacon was the best actor in my opinion.

Absolutely! Great movie! I love the performance and the plot. And it's so sad... Too bad it's been overlooked so much

Oh, heck yeah it was a good film. It is one of the best movies ever made, I think. The acting was good. The book is awesome. I cried in it and was glad the boys got some kind of justice. The author says that it is basically a true story. Critics say it isn't, but he could have changed all manner of things in it so noone would ever know the real kids' identities.
