Shoots & Shots (Screen)

Rating: 1/10 (12 November 2006)

If the drama is better handled in other movies, the historical value is rather really interesting: For one time, the brutal European soldiers don't wear "swastika". In other words, even the proud European democracies have some skeleton in their closets.
Then, in our time when wars look like video-games, this not so ancient guerrilla (in the 30s) seems archaic: the Irish wear suits, their priority is to get guns.
But, if the message is clear "British out of the land!", the democratic debate is dull. I got the feeling they renounce their ideals and in addition, it's too macho world: the story is void of any feminine influence.
So too many deceptions to become a cult "Palme d'or" war movie as "Apocalypse Now"....
