It's hard to tell whether they're portraying the IRA negatively or positively, but once the twist comes, you're sure to have your mind blown. The plot of course concerns an IRA agent (Stephen Rea) getting involved with the hubby (Jaye Davidson) of an English soldier (Forest Whitaker) whom he kidnapped. When I first heard what the plot was - including the twist - I actually assumed that "The Crying Game" was a comedy, sort of a modern-day "Some Like It Hot". But trust me, what this movie portrays is no laughing matter at all.
Anyway, it's not like anything that you've ever seen before. And it certainly affirms Neil Jordan as a unique director. Also starring Miranda Richardson and Jim Broadbent.
