By Barry Paris, Post-Gazette Movie Critic Of all the satanic evils of war, the greatest is its power of procreation.
War begets war.
Cold begets 'Nam. The Troubles are at a peak in 1972 when the McPhelimys with four kids unwittingly move into the war zone of West Belfast's Andersontown area, where random violence is on the rise. On the very first night in the new house, a gunman trades shots with a helicopter from their own front garden. Bernie stomps out in her nightgown to berate and shoo him away. Bernie does so with feisty Irish humor and resignation.
