Featured review
This might be the worst film I have seen in my entire life. The acting is horribly bad (the Canadian actors didn't really do a good job on the Belfast accent) and the plot is so filled with clichés and plot holes that the researchers should all be ashamed of themselves. The final scene and 'grand finale' is nothing but laughable.
As far as explaining the situation in Northern Ireland and Belfast at the time it is one-dimensional and goes nowhere near the core of the Troubles. Do not mistake this for an informational and factual production.
It is indeed so bad that it deserves the stamp of 'cult classic', and should be filed under 'comedy' - if watched with the right anticipation it is hilarious.
