| | Truly a 'Sleeper' | rnjen63 09/14/2009 | | Cannot say enough about this film. Well acted, and truly could not have been cast better. Right and wrong; the age old battle,comes to age in this wonderfully plotted movie. Must see if you like layered stories. Resonated with struggles of a sense of justice achieved. Watch this!!! |
