      As entertainment, the movie functions successfully. But I dont believe the story is true not true to the facts, and not true to the morality it pretends to be about. ( Read More )
    • Peter Stack

      His latest, Sleepers, which is out on video this week, is a visual masterpiece that powerfully explores male cruelty, too. ( Read More )

      Maybe Nokes got justice, but that doesnt make Tommy and John nice guys. ( Read More )
    • Derek Adams
