To understand this movie, you may need to understand the background of the times. It is the historical Irish Republican Army movement, but it is not important. In fact, in any country's internal racial disputes and fights, and even wars, there may be thousands of people. The fate of Wan such a small soldier.

The movie tells the story of a small British soldier who accidentally leaves a large army and flees in a conflict zone. But the whole process of the film is tense in rhythm and full of dramatic tension, in which multiple characters from the enemy and ourselves are mixed and conflicted. The film is small and big, and it is indeed the work of masters.
