Dead Shot

First they need to change the marque it is not about a girl but about two men on different sides.

In the early 1970s, O'Hara, an IRA member, is ambushed while taking his pregnant wife to the hospital and his wife is accidentally shot by a British soldier named Tempest. Tempest is promoted for his shooting skills and transferred to London to hunt down IRA members. O'Hara also heads to London, where he reunites with his girlfriend and seeks revenge against Tempest, putting his girlfriend in danger. The story follows O'Hara's pursuit of revenge.

It slow pace but worth watching all the way through. It is rated a six because some of the characters were not developed well enough though we understand much of the the why they do what they do.

"I killed her" A sentence that sums up the meaning of the film Colin Morgan once again manages not to act but to transform himself into Michael Intense Strong Hard Harrowing Excellently brought to the stage by the whole cast Inspired by the novel The road to Balcombe Street by SP Moysey, about the real events of 1975, Dead Shot catapults us into the darkness of the period

Dead Shot takes you in this darkness for 90 minutes and you're there you stop breathing A truly worthy cast, with the two main characters falling into a trap of revenge, terror or hatred A trap created by the political rot that surrounds them The hatred, the horror, the bombs, the suffering envelop you quickly, perhaps too quickly, 30 minutes more would have been good.

But this does not make the film lose too much, thanks also to the remarkable skill of a Colin Morgan who manages, each time, to convey a soul to the character.

It doesn't help, when giving birth, your girlfriend's slaughtered, by a soldier who you now want hung, drawn, quartered, since you have your own connections, it's not too long before directions, take you overseas, traversing hostile borders. In parallel, a new recruit enlists (albeit unwillingly), into a group who aims to halt, prevent, desist, all the bloodshed and the torment, caused by terror, threat and ferment, to ensure that law and order can persist. And so unstoppable is drawn to the unmoving, and lives are cancelled out, with both sides losing, it's not all that long ago, when dogmas battled toe to toe, but those troubles left a mark and there's still bruising.

Fine performances all round, deposits you back into a time you'd rather not be reminded of if I'm honest.

Really good.

This is not a low budget movie and a lot of the money has been spent on getting the griminess of seventies N. Ireland and London right.

The actors look a bit too healthy for that period but overall the production designer has done a grand job and even if you don't like the plot car lovers will have fun spotting all the vintage classics.

The plot is ok - not ludicrous - and the action is excellent.

There are only a handful of recognizable actors and it's nice to see less familiar faces get a look in.

This is like a more realistic the Devils Own and all the better for it.

Lots of quite good reasons to watch this.

Dead Shot, while showing the violence of the period, manages to bring out a humanity in the characters that breaks the heart The film is splendid Dark, hard, heartbreaking and the cast does a great job, first and foremost a Colin Morgan who again shows his innate gifts and comes on screen as Michael and not as an actor acting, bringing out his immense pain.

Sometimes I just don't understand with whose eyes films are viewed Inspired by the novel The road to Balcombe Street by SP Moysey, about the real events of 1975, Dead Shot catapults us into the darkness of the period

Dead shot deserves the 5 stars I have nothing more to add.
