Ireland, 1970s. Eager to leave his dark past behind, Finbar Murphy (Liam Neeson) leads a quiet life in the remote coastal town of Glencolmcille, far from the political violence that grips the rest of the country. But when a menacing crew of terrorists arrive, led by a ruthless woman named Doirean (Kerry Condon), Finbar is drawn into an increasingly vicious game of cat and mouse, forcing him to choose between exposing his secret identity or defending his friends and neighbors.

Critics Consensus

Well-written and classically constructed, In the Land of Saints and Sinners is one of the better action thrillers Liam Neeson's made in recent years.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

As pleasing as it is to encounter Colm Meaney, Niamh Cusack and Jack Gleeson, they form a parade of wasted ideas and characters who needed far more screen time and development.

Rated: 3/5

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

As such, there’s a find-and-replace quality to aspects of the writing... But such stock roles are geed up by performances that are stronger than they had to be.

Financial Times

Neeson is as sturdy as ever in a role Clint Eastwood might have played 20 years ago and a few thousand miles away. And Condon excels, giving a stock character a shudder of intensity and three dimensions.

In The Land of Saints and Sinners has some fine performances and scenery, but it can’t decide on a tone, with awkward results.

Rated: 2/5

Many great films have tackled the IRA, and though In the Land of Saints and Sinners may not reach their level, it remains a watchable experience.

I liked that it starred Liam Neeson. One of my favorite actors but this movie was a disappointment as it had too many F bombs, not by him but the other actors. If I didn't have my parents with me, it wouldn't have bothered me as much. Also, the Irish brogue was very thick and dialogue was very often lost on us.

Interesting info of that time period in Ireland however we were left with questions as to what individuals were targeted by the IRA and what they had done.
