After reading some of the reviews here I can see why some didn't like this movie and how it has a 6/10 rating. I think it should be a 7 for sure, and this movie can be really misinterpreted. People who like action bombing crash type movies will not be happy with this since it is not about that. It is a very deep moving film about the Troubles and all the problems in North Ireland. If you know about that history, this movie will resonate with you and you will feel the intensity, the dilemmas facing the characters, the anger, the resentment, the incredulity, that goes with the Troubles. Consider that even today, people are not allowed to have parades in certain parts of North I because riots will break out, it's A PARADE! There is serious animosity between peoples in North I and even South and it is stupid to pretend different. That's why this movie is a real good choice to show anyone young who needs to know their history. Clive Owen did a respectable job, same as most of his roles, that stone faced glare, not giving away much emotion, it works for him. But Andrea Risboraough, who I had only seen in Oblivion was REALLY good. Some other reviewers picked this up too, and they're bang on. I hated looking at her face in Oblivion, that blank pasty cold blue eyed stare ( which was perfect for that role), but in this one it's almost like she has the same stare but there is so much rage and deep sorrow simmering just below the surface. As far as other reviewers complaining that they couldn't understand the Irish accents...maybe you need subtitles, it is hard to understand if you are not used to hearing.
