why are the 2 versions I've downloaded so far dubbed in Spanish?!
Yet to watch.....
This film is a masterpiece so well conceived and realized. The cast is so brilliant and the choice of the actors so appropriate COLIN MORGAN has performed Michael giving all possible. The perfect actor for the part. I rated the film with 10 stars. If there were more stars I would like it. There are two considerations I'd like to express though. In the first place this film cannot be understood and appreciated without a previous documentation on the context . I documented myself reading THE ROAD TO BALCOMBE STREET by STEVEN MOYSEY in audible version. Secondly for now this film has been released by Sky Cinema only in UK and Ireland. IT MUST BE RELEASED WORLDWIDE.

Intriguing, Inspiring, Captivating, Sadness and Inquisitively Enthralling. Just a few words that describe the film from start to finish. Based in the 1970's during the conflict of the IRA, this is a journey of two men's actions in the time of the troubles. O'Hara played by the most talented Colin Morgan and Tempest played by Aml Ameen. There is no better casting then Colin Morgan who absolutely takes you into his role as Michael O'Hara Heart stopping moments play out during the film. Don't watch this because it is based on the IRA. Watch as an action packed film with such courage and despair.
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.
