Sleepers

This film is an utter disaster. With the look and sound design of a high school project, it's honestly a shame that something so poorly made exists. Why are people putting something like this out is beyond me. It looks like it was filmed in a dark basement. I've seen student films with more talent and effort than this mess. The acting? A complete trainwreck-wooden, unconvincing, and cringeworthy at best.

It's frustrating that this garbage even gets attention, taking eyes away from truly good films out there. It's a sad reminder of how low the bar can go in the industry. Avoid this at all costs.

I watched this film and all of the child actors were horrendous, some of the adult acting was mediocre at best, overall not a good movie. I remember in the trailer I thought there was a built up conflict between the main character and another girl, kind of like fighting for who's gonna be "top dog". But when I watched the film I feel as the trailer misconstrued that because their scenes total together lasted less then two minutes. The second she is introduced she gets killed off. It was built up in a short amount of time just to not have a satisfactory result because we know nothing about their dynamic to feel any kind of reaction to the characters death.

I really do like the concept and what they are trying to get across. But the whole thing sounds like they're reading right off the script. For something done in 2025 it is very unrealistic on how these kids act toward each other and talk to each other. The characters all seem to be thinking about what's about to come out of their mouth. Teenagers do not act like that these days. The characters are all much to leave it to Beaver, 50s or 60s types, and the fight scenes too clean.

As I said, I really do like the concept and what they are trying to say I just feel that it should be a little bit more realistic as far as the times we actually live in.

This definitely reflects all the hard work and passion the cast, crew, above the line, supporters, etc. Have put into this.

The locations were awesome and amazing, especially the hallway and underground areas.

Love the action and chase scenes, especially for the stunt and fight choreography. More in this than in some big budgeted films in Hollywood, lol.

And of course the actors really showed their chops. What's extremely exciting and interesting is that there is such a wide gamut and range of cast as well as crew.

So many varied ages, nationalities, cultures and range of styles, excellent kudos to everyone!
