How would you rate this movie, thanks.


Also, how would you compare it to other films dealing with IRA, like say In the Name of the Father, The Boxer, Resurrection Man etc.

It was an exciting action movie with likable characters but Pitt’s Irish accent was terribly silly.

Also, how do you host a confirmation party for your daughter complete with thirty five guests plus a band in your one bathroom three bedroom home?

And what veteran cop would allow a totally strange man to live in his home with his two daughters and wife? Seriously, even civilians know strange men could be a danger near the home.

Why did the IRA not send several teams to assist in the weapons pick up? They sent Brad Pitt? The IRA is not stupid. There would have been several teams.

Pitt was supposed to sail from New York to Belfast in a leaky, wheezing old tug boat across the Atlantic? Good luck with that trip Brad!

Overall a fun silly action movie but damn, don’t think too much or a lot of it makes no sense.
