Pick 3: Slick Flick Pick: Priest on the Stand, Three Stubs in Hand (Sleepers, 1996)

Welcome, Cinematic Fanatics, to Slick Flick Pick, an entertaining, slick/flick-explaining series, a desirable diversion from the main vein of Chemohawk Sessions. You are my Cinematic Fanatic; I, your worthwhile f****** cinephile. For your tertiary episode, I offer a financially successful, controversially stressful slick flick that oozes slick narration, menace and penance in equal fstars measures. I offer you, regarding this crime, drama, thriller-- but also noir, a noirish, never boorish auricular presentation of one of my most favorite, periodically re-watched, acted, with slick gravitas, by a cooperative and collaborative collection of actors, working off a historically questionable novel and capturing grim, grimy Hell's Kitchen in a slick flick sheen: Sleepers, circa October 1996. In honor of this Slick Flick Pick unveiling, I describe, through smooth detailing, this flick's slickness unfailing, noir prevailing and rich dialogue regaling. This is a slick cinematic experience that touches a quartet of genres: noir, drama, crime and a thriller. It transitions so seamlessly between genres and oft simultaneously, in such a way, that you process it as a simple study in filmmaking sleekness. I have adored this film since the unique treat of my first viewing. The matter of this film's subject is tough, rough, demoralizing and demonizing, it takes you to an abusive darkness and all the way fstars through it; however, though there is an initial plight at the end of this emotionally exhausting tunnel, there is, too, a light. We, as the audience are aggrieved and bereaved halfway through, but revenge is achieved, and we feel oddly relieved. The exhaustive journey this film requires of you is the sole reason it is a periodically rewatched flick, not a habitually rewatched one. While Red Devil appreciates the slickness of Sleepers, it carries with it a disturbing sickness in its evil illustration of her favorite pork-laced actor: Kevin fstars Bacon. Recline, Cinematic Fanatics, in your favorite well-worn, stale chair, rustle up some popcorn, fresh as fstars, the antithesis to that stale a** chair, I just mentioned, zoom in and zone out as I unwind the daily grind with a slick f****** flick pick.
