Terry W @Jaxontm Jun 2 Having served in the Parachute Regiment in Ulster (including Belfst) in the early 1970's I find this Film laughable. The idea of stacking weapons and just picking one up as you need it is idiotic. The main idea behind the film, that his platoon abandon him would NEVER have happened.

What works best is its realism: the film feels physical, dirty, and immediate, throwing you into a city where every street can suddenly become a battlefield. It is not just about suspense or pursuit, though. Beneath the thriller structure, the film also suggests the complexity of the conflict, the clashes between the two communities, and the uneasy role of the British presence caught in the middle. It never turns the situation into a simple good-versus-evil story, which gives it more weight. At times it may rely a bit too much on extreme situations and coincidences, but it is so well directed and so effective in its tension that it remains gripping throughout. A harsh and very strong film.

An absolute must watch.
