not all English are ignorant

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2006)

to be honest i was expecting another brit bashing film...i was surprised that at least it was based on real life..and even though braveheart was based on real events it was overdone and sometimes inaccurate...the violence really is quite surprising and cillian murphy (red eye) was excellent as an embittered irishman...even when threatened i genuinely believed he was s$%t scared...great acting..the torture scene was nail-biting!....im not proud of our past history in ireland and wish it was touched upon in schools more in England but then again all sides committed awful acts....one of the best films I've seen this year but i still dislike ken loach!
