Howard H 04/15/2024 Almost gave up on but glad saw it through for finalle. British gangster film that overreached at best. See more 05/24/2014 Protestant Boondock Saint(s) or more like protestant IRA King of Nothing? The movie misses a vigilante theme for a boondocks saintesque movie. It's also depends less on imagery, which would make it more protestant. The movie does not really get behind the politicial motives. Good watch but the violence is tame. See more 02/19/2011 Decent crime-drama, set in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Quite edgy and gritty. Plot is unfocused though and doesn't really go anywhere, or make a point. Good performances from Stuart Townsend and John Hannah. James Nesbitt is a bit irritating in his role, as he generally is. See more 01/29/2010 Maybe it was because of the heavy Irish accent. Maybe the film turned out to be more about gangsters than IRA. Maybe the film was mainly targeted at Irish or British audiences. I find it rather raw, obscure & uninteresting. See more 11/04/2009 It's a cool movie, but I was expecting something more psychological. Stuart Townsend is awesome! He looks like a real psycho, great crazy eyes! (and hot!) See more 11/01/2009 An absolutely dreadful film that only harps the twisted logic that Protestants of Northern Ireland killed Catholics for fun and does not involve the true facts of the conflict between both sides. In reality both sides suffered in what was a civil war. See more Read all reviews
