Captures the 70's agro

Really good.This is not a low budget movie and a lot of the money has been spent on getting the griminess of seventies N. Ireland and London right.The actors look a bit too healthy for that period but overall the production designer has done a grand job and even if you don't like the plot car lovers will have fun spotting all the vintage classics.The plot is ok - not ludicrous - and the action is excellent.There are only a handful of recognizable actors and it's nice to see less familiar faces get a look in.This is like a more realistic the Devils Own and all the better for it.Lots of quite good reasons to watch this.

Enjoyable movie, but it would help if they got the basics right

Firstly, as a movie, this is quite entertaining and they have certainly nailed the 70s vibe with the vehicles and fashions etc.The action is good and overall, the acting is better than average, making for an enjoyable viewing experience.The story, whilst nothing new, is delivered well enough that you start to build some empathy for the characters involved. Violence seldom improves a situation and perpetual violence is a difficult cycle to break, particularly when you have a personal motivation.What I don't understand, particularly given the attention to detail with vehicles etc, is why the main military character is described as "An SAS Officer" in the synopsis.Firstly, he is wearing Sergeant stripes, so he's an NCO, not an officer. Furthermore, there is no mention at any point of the SAS, unless I somehow missed it.Overall, a good movie and well worth a watch.

A fast paced, action packed thriller.

Michael O'Hara, a retired Irish paramilitary stands and watches as his pregnant wife is shot dead by Henry Tempest, an SAS Officer. O'Hara has one clear motive, revenge.It's an intense game of cat and mouse, a fast moving thriller set during the troubles. An excellent, fast faced, action packed movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it.I know the film is set in the 70's, but the wonderful music gave it kind of an 80's flavour, lots of wonderful synth going on.The visuals are fantastic, it's a great looking film, the sets are spot on, The Streets, cars, fashions and hairstyles are all authentic, right down to those hideous plants in baskets. If I had one criticism, I thought that some of the dialogue sounded a little bit muddled at times.That scene where the device was triggered, that was some moment, again, amazing visuals.Colin Morgan was excellent I thought, such a good performance from him, a great supporting cast, including the wonderful Mark Strong.8/10.
