Based on a true story. Two young Dublin brothers must navigate loyalty, honor and the dangerous world of republicanism as they fuel the Northern war machine -- by any means necessary.

Hanlon's film is modest and somewhat uneven. yet it conveys the dislocation of a "foot soldier" lobbed back into society with some vividness.

Honest in its depiction, the movie doesn't glorify its characters -- "Morals don't win wars," one says while he justifies accepting funds from a drug dealer.

The way the story is portrayed, it’s a little tough to follow. Choppy. Sean is a difficult character to watch.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Really good gritty and powerful story of how “ the troubles” sucked in ordinary people in to behaving like gangsters for a “cause”. Low budget but really well acted and produced

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Bleak account of rank and file terrorist life in the late 70s/early 80s. The low budget undoubtedly holds it back but above all the dialogue is unfathomable at times. Spoiler alert: the final dramatic scene will have to be replayed quite a few times to understand what's actually been said. I gave up in the end! As I wish I had after the first fifteen minutes tbh.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
