isla s This is quite a gritty film, based on a true story. It features some moderate violence, including scenes of torture and so it might be an upsetting watch for some. It features good performances, although the (at times) jerky camerawork may frustrate some. If the story particularly interests you then it may be worth a watch but I wouldn't personally recommend it as such, no. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review kevin c Based on the true story of Martin McGartland, a young man from Belfast who is recruited by the British authorities to infiltrate and spy on the IRA. Risking his life and the safety of his family, he was instrumental in saving many lives with the information passed on. Jim Sturgess, Ben Kingsley and Rose McGowan star in this fascinating thriller. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Liam D Kari Skogland (Liberty Stands Still, The Stone Angel) delivers a powerful Thriller and telling me a story I didn't know before Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/21 Full Review Audience Member This movie was a harrowing thriller, poignant to watch, unsettling. The performances of Jim Sturgess, Ben Kingsley and the others were great. Good directing by Kari Skogland, who handled tension and action scenes superbly.
