    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Gary Hook was originally intended to be from Lancashire. At Jack O'Connell's request, the script was rewritten so the character came from his birthplace of Derby, Derbyshire.
    • Goofs
      In the initial chase scene where Gary runs from the shooter he is fired at 32 times (including the first kill shot) from what seems like just one man's gun, we don't see the younger boy fire his gun at all. We also don't see any reloading as they are running at breakneck speed. This would be impossible from a small 1960's era 9mm Semi-automatic pistol which have at most 13 rounds in the magazine.

    7+1 STARS
    A really gritty, sad, realistic war movie giving a glimpse of the horrors of the British Irish conflict and the internal Irish struggle. Duplicity, betrayal, terror, loyalty and humanity in its most awful form.

    A very good movie!!
