Washington Post
It features a pleasing mix of good-guy gumshoeing, smart-alecky dialogue and courtroom surprises. Full Review
David Stratton
Variety
Colorful characters, richly evoked settings, epic story of friendship, crime and punishment, and a strong dose of good old-fashioned star power. Full Review
Elvis Mitchell
The New York Times
As directed by Barry Levinson and acted by an incredible collection of male stars, Sleepers settles the authenticity question by allowing not a whiff of real life into its universe. Full Review
James Berardinelli
ReelViews
Two and one- half hours of gripping entertainment. Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)
Muddy, confused, and worst of all boring, Sleepers grinds to the preordained halt shared by any over-budgeted epic that lacks the simple necessity of good story. Full Review
