Boring

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 2006)

Why is this film supposed to be so great? Why on earth was it awarded with the Palme D'Or???
Coming from Ireland myself I was looking forward to learning something new about that period of time and see a gripping, well scripted and acted film. The outcome, however, was rather poor.
The performances ranged from average to absolutely appalling and everything else was pretty underwhelming, too. I was very disappointed with this film.
Don't waste your time with it, you might be better off reading some good literature about the Irish war of independence.
