Nice effects though.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
I´m afraid I found this disappointing, slow and boring.
Utter rubbish.... poor acting, poor direction, same old same old storyline glorifying thugs and murderers
I was hoping this would have moved irish cinema forward a bit. Unfortunately it succeeded in doing the exact opposite.There was a great lack of authenticity regarding the prison atmosphere, the supposed northern Ireland accents of some of the actors, the location( shot in Cork southern ireland and didn't care to hide that fact in the film). You would expect a prison drama to be a bit gritty and claustrophobic and maybe even instill a sense of menace. This felt more like an adult day care center where you could sit and drink a cup of tea with your custodian. Some performances worked but overall the film was embarrassing to watch as the amateurish holes appeared one after another.
Plodding and unimaginative. It was obviously made on a shoestring budget. Even the excellent Tom Vaughan-Lawlor cannot overcome predictable action sequences and hackneyed dialogue. Both sets of prisoners - republican and loyalist - are presented as implausibly mild caricatures of the truly dangerous men they obviously were in reality.
