Engrossing, suspenseful, honest drama: the best film on "the troubles" ever made.
Put this up against the other IRA movies of recent years, and they pale by comparison.
A visceral experience of the tortured Irish landscape; characters of great depth and complexity.
An even-handed look at both sides of the coin, Protestant and Catholic. What goes on there is, after all, a tragedy for everyone.
This is a movie all should see.
