Plot

{{Expand section|date=October 2009}}

Brothers Treat (Matthew Modine) and Philip (Kevin Anderson) have lived alone since they were kids when a small-time criminal enters their lives. Living without a father, the orphaned brothers subsist off the proceeds of petty theft in a run-down North Philadelphia row house. One night he kidnaps an enigmatic rich man, played by Albert Finney, who becomes the kind of father figure the boys have always longed for.

Critical reception

Vincent Canby of the New York Times enjoyed the film:

{{cquote |Mr. Pakula's achievement is in making a film that's simultaneously theatrical and cinematic. Orphans honors both worlds.[1]}}

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it two and a half stars out of four and had this to say:

{{cquote |Orphans is a good play about behavior that has been turned into a mediocre movie about nothing much at all.[2]}}
