This movie really surprised me. It's one of the best films on
the Northern Ireland conflict I've seen, ranking with "Cal,"
"The Crying Game," "Michael Collins," and "The Boxer" to tell
the very personal story of two brothers feuding in the middle of
the cease fire declared several years ago. As someone with a
younger brother, the story really touched and resonated with me
on a very deep level. Kudos to the writer and to the entire
cast, especially the Irish actors who played the brothers and
the entire supporting cast. It's an experience I won't forget.
