3.5 out of 10 A typical film about the Troubles in the North
Maggie from Mayo, 05 Feb 2008
A well acted film against the background of the 1994 ceasefire. It portrays some of the problems facing the North of Ireland at that time, and does this well. however, it does not really tell us anything new about the situation. But I found the characters believable, and the story realistic. Overall, worth a look.

3 out of 10 Seen this all before?
Mark from Galway, 27 Aug 2008
Love story set in troubled times of Ireland. I found the depiction of life in Ireland interesting but the story of love just another 'two people in love' who can't be together story that we've seen so many times before. Not a big fan of Day-Lewis but he was ok.

What's it about....
When Danny Flynn returns to his Belfast neighbourhood after 14 years in prison, all he wants is to find peace, resume his career and reclaim the love of the woman who has remained etched in his mind. As they slowly embrace the possibilities of renewed romance, they realise cultural taboos stand in the way and fighting for love could cost them their lives.
