Michael O'Hara, a retired Irish paramilitary stands and watches as his pregnant wife is shot dead by Henry Tempest, an SAS Officer. O'Hara has one clear motive, revenge.
It's an intense game of cat and mouse, a fast moving thriller set during the troubles. An excellent, fast faced, action packed movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I know the film is set in the 70's, but the wonderful music gave it kind of an 80's flavour, lots of wonderful synth going on.
The visuals are fantastic, it's a great looking film, the sets are spot on, The Streets, cars, fashions and hairstyles are all authentic, right down to those hideous plants in baskets. If I had one criticism, I thought that some of the dialogue sounded a little bit muddled at times.
That scene where the device was triggered, that was some moment, again, amazing visuals.
Colin Morgan was excellent I thought, such a good performance from him, a great supporting cast, including the wonderful Mark Strong.
8/10.
