Ben M Amazing film that perfectly encapsulates the struggle of the average Irishman during the British oppression Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Stephen K This film is extremely boring. Most of it consists of showing violent confrontations between the Irish and the pro- British. There is little character development— just violence. At the end there begins to be a few conversations between the revolutionaries on how to proceed. One of the worst films I have ever seen. I have no sympathy for the Irish. I grew up among them in the U.S.A. and still live near them. They are violent, and intolerant of almost everyone who is not Irish. They have always been antisemitic and remain to this day the most antisemitic people in Europe. ( See Mark Stein’s writings about them.) I now live in San Francisco and the Arabs I am friendly with tell me that they have always been very hostile to them too. Even the Irish children always seem to be in fist fights with each other. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Paul S When you're an Irishman watching a movie in 2024 about the British rule in Ireland pre-independence, and you find your blood boiling and your heart rate racing; you know that the makers and director have created something important.
