This has to be my favourite movie . The movie shows how four boys commit a silly crime and do time for it .... while in doing time things take a turn for the worst as the boys become subjected to abuse from the guards ... while some scenes are hard to take in .. the story is so gripping then fast forward .. they boys are now men and the best revenge scene ever in a movie brings these four into a court case which is so thrilling to watch , you want these guys that committed the "revenge" to go free but how the case unfolds its so brilliantly done. The acting is amazing to make this movie believable the cast has Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon , Robert De Niro , Dustin Hoffman and Jason Patric . the movie is said to be based on a true story the writer stands by what happened however there is no fact that this court account took place ...
