Description

From the Oscar-nominated director of Downfall, the BAFTA-winning screenwriter of Omagh, and star Liam Neeson comes a startling new thriller inspired by true events: In 1975, 17-year-old Irish-Protestant Alistair Little assassinated 19-year-old Catholic Jim Griffin in his Ulster home. The murder was witnessed by Griffin's 11-year-old brother Joe. Thirty years later, Little has been rehabilitated and released from prison, while Joe Griffin (James Nesbitt of Bloody Sunday and Jekyll) remains traumatized and bitter. But when a television talk show decides to bring them together for a live on-air reconciliation, two men haunted by one moment must come face-to-face with their own worlds of pain, violence and vengeance. Anamaria Marinca of 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days co-stars in this must-see drama that dares to explore both sides of Northern Ireland's troubled past as it comes to terms with its still uncertain future.

Intense

Für Aussenstehende wird es womöglich stets schwierig sein die (häufig banalen) Gründe solcher regionler Konfliktherde wirklich zu verstehen. Ob Baskenland (ETA), Irland (IRA), dem Balkan oder sonstwo. Letztendlich führt kein Weg an Vergebung, Bildung und Verständnis vorbei. Fazit: Ein Film, der zum Nachdenken anregt. Also nichts für Actionfreaks, die darauf stehen, dass jede Minute ein Feuerwerk im MTV-Stil das Adrenalin pusht. Intensive Darstellung, die einen durchweg bannt. Mal sehen, wie lange der Burgfrieden in Irland noch hält. Fast ruinierte Staatsfinanzen sind keine gute Voraussetzung für ein dauerhaftes, überwiegend friedliches Zusammenleben.
Very good

Coming from Belfast myself I know lots of stories like these, but never one that goes in the direction of this movie!
Got me thinking...
Superb acting, too!
