The two protagonists of the film are tortured by a murder case many years ago. They meet by chance, and it is not the murderer who escapes, but the victim. It sounds counterintuitive at first, but the story of the film is convincing. The program was not completed, but it became the fuse of the two people's troubled life. Once it was ignited, it was more difficult to extinguish. How this will end, Alistair Little, who ran to Belfast, doesn't know, and neither do we. And when all this really ended, it came so suddenly. At the end of the film, we, together with the two protagonists, let go.
The beginning of the film is not very engaging, but the past has to be made clear. Then, step by step, the skills of the two leading actors gradually emerged. A very quiet movie, taking us around between the two, there is enough time to see their every subtle expression, every intonation change.
At first, I thought Joe was a little too neurotic, but growing up in the shadow of that event, how could he not be nervous? This is the first time I've seen James Nesbitt's play, and it's very enjoyable, especially when he goes downstairs, he touches his pants and then pulls his suit to cover it up. Liam Neeson's performance is amazing, his scenes are often just sitting there, silent, or seeming to tell calmly, but you can definitely feel his pain is no less than Joe's.
It's a smooth and gradual film, even the climax is surprisingly calm, but it can make you taut your nerves and dare not breathe. And when it's all over, we'll experience the ease after letting go together.
I like the last scene of the film the most, a person, standing alone on the street, the red light passed, and pedestrians on both sides passed by. He hesitated for a while, and finally walked into the crowd.
Time cannot heal all wounds, but our hearts can.
June 7th was Liam's birthday and I celebrated by watching a movie starring him. May Liam have a warm birthday on this special day. Good luck, my favorite actor~~
