"I tried not to get into this war, and did, now I try to get out, and can't."
A sympathetic look at Republicans in early 20th century Ireland, and two brothers who are torn apart by anti-Brit rebellion.

Kinda long, but very good. I wish I would've watched it when I wasn't so tired, but it was still good :)
Not a pleasant movie by any means. Almost constant shouting and conflict, and all seemingly for nothing. A brutal account of rural Irish life around the time of Ireland's independence.
'tis alright. it's no michael collins. it kinda shows you in more depth where the irish went wrong and started fighting amongst themselves. you feel sorry for them up until that point. last thing i seen cillian murphy in was batman begins as the scarecrow. he's caught my attentio...( read more)
I know this film is supposed to be great, but I just couldn't get excited about it
great story, weakly produced. one of the most unconvincing film i ever watch., it looks like an amateur made it, with limited settings and camera
The ending of this was just... wow. Such a great movie, but completely heart-rending.
Awesome film. It's quite hard going sometimes (I most likely had family that were involved in the treatment at the hands of the British Army), but that doesn't take away from how good this was.
Excellent movie set in 1920 as two brothers and their volunteer army fight for an independent Ireland from the brutal British occupationists. Great storyline and brilliant acting all round.
historical dramatization of the events leading up to Irish independence from Britain, and the beginning of the subsequent Irish Civil War.
