Comment:
I've recently seen many movies regarding Ireland during this year (mainly on TV) but this one is different, Ireland is just the base on which a strong thriller is built.

Actually, the movie is rather strong because there are a few cruel scenes of murders and 'duels' but apart from these, most of the time the plot is vey slow, there are many scenes that could have been removed or at least shortened.

Moreover, it seemed a bit exaggerated to me to see how easily (and cheaply) they managed to buy a lot of missiles that they wanted to export from the US to Ireland using an old boat...

As Brad Pitt says in the movie "This is not an american story, it is an irish story", so there's no happy ending, fortunately. Although this improves the general feeling about the movie, it was quite predictable since the beginning and it won't make me forget the general boredom and weakness of the rest of the movie.
