If you are from N.Ireland an grew up in the 1980's this movie paints a very close picture to the real thing, I was blown away by Jim Sturgess N. Irish accent, he had it down to a tee!!!
A must to understand what kids in N. Ireland used to and to some degree still go through.
Another movie if u like this one is Resurrection Man, this Film was based on the deeds of the Shankhill Butchers in 1970s
Another good one is Five Minutes Of Heaven, this is set In February, 1975, in Northern Ireland, seventeen year-old UVF member Alistair Little kills the catholic Jimmy Griffin in his house in Lurgan in front of his younger brother Joe Griffin. Alistair is arrested and imprisoned for twelve years while Joe is blamed by his mother for not saving his brother. Thirty-three years later, a TV promotes the meeting of Alistair and Joe in a house in River Finn, expecting the truth and the reconciliation of the murderer and the victim who actually seeks five minutes of heaven.
