      Traitor or hero

      The love of small people may not move you like the Titanic, but it is very life and real!
         I saw someone in the short comment saying that Martin betrayed his friends and was a traitor. Is this really the case? The British have been investigating Sean. Without Martin's protection, Sean would have been in trouble.
            Also I never understood why the IRA hurt Martin's friend Frank's knee? This directly led to Martin's anger and anger, and after the first involvement in the bombing,...

      fifty living dead

      The film is based on a true story. In the 1980s, Martin McGartland, a young man living in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, made a living by stealing things and reselling them all day long, because the work was taken by the Puritans, and as a Catholic, he could only make a living. As a punk with no party or political ideology, he is the target of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the British secret police. Both sides want him to join in and do things for himself. Martin witnessed the...

      fear doesn't last

      On March 7, 2009, the British army in Andrim, Northern Ireland, was attacked by a terrorist, causing 2 deaths and 2 injuries. This was the first time since 1997 that a British soldier was killed in Northern Ireland, which shocked the British three Island; two days later, a police officer in Armagh, Northern Ireland, was killed.

      In July 2005, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) announced that it would lay down its arms and join the peace process; on September 26, the International...

      The title is too scary

      The simple informant story is better than the real historical background, the so-called big and small characters, full of emotion, also thanks to the performance of Jim Sturgess and Ben Kingsley. It's just that the rhythm of the movie is really bad, there is almost no climax at all, and it ends hastily.
      This heroic story of ups and downs, ups and downs, full of idealism and romance, in the end, it is a sacrifice under the blending. Martin and Fergus are just two of the chess pieces. No...

      Whether terrorism is fighting for freedom or destroying the lives of innocent people, I believe everyone has the answer. The plot is average, and there is nothing outstanding, but this may indeed be a true...

      Adapted from a true story, an informant who helped the government prevent terrorist attacks was finally betrayed by the government forces... I was shocked when I saw the last sentence of the movie, "Martin is still on the run." He was killed by the original organization several times. Difficult to die, I hope such a hero can have a good...
