First I have never been a fan of the shaking camera effect. OK maybe it's useful for a few brief scenes to show chaos. Adding the documentary tone to this movie makes it come off as transparently contrived. It just gives the movie an unreal cheap low budget flavor.
I also did not know when I rented it that it was made for TV movie. The film is not horrible by any means. There are some very good segments in it dealing with grief. However considering the excellent subject matter I think a much better film could have been made. Of course it would have required a bigger budget.
It also could have explored the Northern Ireland conflict or at least shown what might have motivated the bombing. Rather than just use it as a tool to portray the subjects as apparently purely evil.
