This felt like a one act play - maybe two. I kept wanting an extra element - like the IRA arriving to hide out/take action against the cop who helped the execution/an ex-wife or child. This took a while to get going - it did eventually kick in, but it could've had half an hour cut out of it no worries.
Colin Farrell is brilliant, with his sad longing eyes, though everyone else is very good too. Ending a little dissatisfying at first though it has stayed with me. Lovely locations. Ideal low budget film - two handers with ocean in the background. Still cost $20 million though apparently - I guess everyone's salaries, location filming, period setting.
