The film attempts to restore an extremely important but extremely rare story background, using a rather western-style revenge story as a tragic entry point in Irish history. The opening is a world of famine, and the second half turns into a revenge scene with a wonderful gunfight. The thematic significance of the film goes far beyond the film itself
.
This film, which was accidentally made into a modern history science and education film, was made into a tough shootout film with classical aesthetics by LanceDaly with a rigorous attitude
.
The film is basically "first blood" in costume, only a little bit more delicate and entertaining. Granted, the historical predicaments of the Irish potato famine are real, but the film feels like a soulless remake of all the post-Vietnam action movies, about a tough guy lashing out at a rigid and inhumane military system. , the system took advantage of him and then abandoned him. The main difference is that First Blood and its sequels focus on the wars and political conflicts of the time, while the film follows a 19th-century Irish soldier attacking British soldiers, priests and officials who persecuted or murdered his family. The film never fails to surprise audiences, which is a shame because it's set so captivatingly
