This action drama is one of those that starts out slow then is a non- stop roller coaster.
You think you know a lot about the problems in Ireland? Well this was an eye opener for me.
I did not realize how much of a 'hot' 'war' it really was until I watched this film.
The harrowing experience of the soldier brought out the confusing nature of this war. It was a war.
So confusing to go from safe to dangerous by location, simple which place you were. I think Vietnam for the US may have been a similar experience, that is you think you are somewhere safe and civil to find out those around you are with the enemy.
While I sympathize with the overall circumstance of the North, I was shocked about the real life methods of the IRA. I guess I didn't really understand and never really looked at it this closely.
I can't imagine being a soldier in this circumstance. At battle with civilians. Awful.
I have a new respect for both sides in the conflict after viewing this film.
