I watched this back in 1996 and maybe a few times since. It's one of those movies that hits hard no matter how many times you see it. The boys in the movie are the real stars, the big names. You could say that they were a hard act to follow. Innocence is lost and buried in the past and forgiveness is never sought by the boys. What follows afterwards is more like a modern fairy tale where the ending is the audience is asked to patiently await the only possible outcome after so many years of waiting. I'll probably watch it again just to remind me that there is both justice and salvation in the world.
