Just perfect...

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Game Of Silence 2012 & 2016, and the movie 'Sleepers' are all based on the true story/novel "Sleepers" (in a round-about way), as I learned here on IMDb trivia.Game Of Silence 2016 has an amazing cast & crew. I feel like each character is written so that you know them, past & present, and are eager to know more! While the story lines and plot may be unique to network TV, this show exposes the effects of bullying and abuse, on many levels, and how a person chooses to deal with them throughout life. I'm a big fan of GOS, and sincerely hope it will be picked up by another network/online service upon hearing of it's cancellation.** In response to other comments: His name is RAY Carroll, Derek Phillips plays 'Boots,' and the woman they hit in the car did NOT die (according to Jackson's voice-over as they entered Quitman.)

This is the best show in the drama genre to hit the small screen in quite some time. The show retains a certain amount of deep, hard hitting drama while bringing in some minor action from time to time. The story line may be a bit unoriginal, however, the events of the characters' pasts are still foggy as the season continues. Their pasts are slowly uncovered, bit by bit, as the show continues. In the first episode (and sprinkled throughout the rest of the series so far) had a few hard hitting, unforeseen moments which definitely was enough to capture an audience of anyone who enjoys drama or action television.Two thumbs way up for this new drama, hopefully it can sustain its viewership and ratings enough to constitute a second season.

Take a pile of exposition, add some poor acting, idiotic predictable writing and then a touch more exposition and you've reached Game of Silence. Here's a hint to the creators; when you have such a pile of crap don't go the "we'll give it a name like a popular show' route. You only make yourself look that much worse for having tried to ride the coat tails of a great show.I only could watch the first episode because I strained my optic nerve from rolling my eyes so hard at the ridiculous and transparent plot. My only hope is someone will read this and decide not to watch this show. Just one person saved...

I know NBC is desperate to get their ratings up but I feel that this show has gone over the edge. I was looking forward to it because the promos made it look so intriguing but instead, you find out everything in the first episode. It is bad enough it is about 4 preteens being sent to jail for a ridiculous reason but they go to the harshest jail there is and at this jail they are continually beat up and gang raped. They all cross paths as adults. The bad boys and jailers are still together doing illegal business. Please. On top of it you keep seeing flashbacks to them being abused and raped. I do not want to spend my free time watching this. It is not educational or artfully done like "Crime Story". I don't know why this show is getting a 7 rating. Maybe NBC has plants. Or maybe I am just not the audience. Who would the audience be?
