Absolutely loved the film... Great screenplay & they did well on the 1970's style, and capturing the horrific sectarian violence that so carpeted Northern Ireland - @Tuesday, March 22, 2016 6:14 PM

Very powerful film...... brings back memories. It's so hard to get your head rapped round that there's 1000's of stories just like this, in Northern Ireland - @Saturday, June 27, 2015 3:10 AM

I know this film has been out for a few years and some of the comments date from them but I can't believe how ignorant some of the comments are, especially the ones which talk about 'lame plots.' It is based on a true story although Joe Griffin has never consented to meet Alistair Little and has certainly never forgiven him for murdering his brother. After his brother's murder I believe one of Joe's siblings took his own life and both his parents died quite young so he lost his entire family. Alistair little underwent a complete transformation, renouncing violence, and has spent his life since leaving prison working to prevent other young men from turning to violence, not just on NOrthern Ireland. - @Friday, November 14, 2014 12:00 AM

Wow you are extremely stupid. I happen to love Ray Harryhausen and I would not ever get rid of my autogrpah from him. Nor my Robert DeNiro autogrpah, or George Orwell, Roger Corman, Bob Doyle, Jack Nicholson, Roman Polanski, Geroge A Ramero, John Carpenter, Steven Speilburg, George Lucas, Quentin Tarantino, Mark Hammil, Harrison Ford, Bobcat Goldthwait, Robin Williams, Chuck Norris and more I can not name letter reasons, But sutographs are not for kids they are for fans of the peope they admire - @Wednesday, June 5, 2013 1:10 AM

Quite ironic tho that at 0.42 it says RA and they are ira members in the film but they are right beside a protestant church in that shot, and on the same street is an orange order lodge which is about 30 metres from his car. - @Tuesday, May 14, 2013 2:05 AM

btw guys its at 0.31 that street is round the corner from my house. its north street newtownards you can see the railway bar on the left of the shot. - @Tuesday, May 14, 2013 2:01 AM

I too had the privilege of meeting James Nesbitt when he held a talk on Bloody Sunday for our film class back in college. This film shows what a gift he has as an actor!! For me, he totally owned every frame, pushed Neeson to the background. Truly powerful stuff...it has changed me!! Am black British and have friends from both southern and Norn Iron, the world would be less chaotic if we only learn to forgive and let go of the past, but of course not forget so we don't repeat past mistakes.

"Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith." (1 Thessalonians 3:7) "You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom." (Matthew 5:10) For the Irish Catholics who been persecuted by Protestant militants. May the Lord Jesus bless them to Our Catholic Faith!

As an Irish Catholic living down under, i dont have strong credibility to comment on the political nature of this film. But can I say respectfully to all of us, it raises a great concept of remorse and the ability to forgive for the sake of moving forward - on both sides of the equation. There is a long way to go and I hope Ireland will be united again where her children can all live together in peace - not fairytale shite, but get along with each other and no more carnage. I wish u well. - @Thursday, July 12, 2012 3:16 PM

Jesus Christ, you fuckin yanks come here and talk utter bollocks about terrorism, religion or how their's a Jewish fucking Hollywood conspiracy. If people are gonna start an argument in this trailer's comment section, it should be about 'the troubles' in Ireland. But no. You Americans are so stupid and have no idea about massive foreign events that you just go completely of topic and talk complete and utter nonsense. Honestly, you wonder why the rest of the world hates you. - @Friday, July 6, 2012 11:41 PM
