4 out of 10 A Very Disturbing Film
Les from Dublin, 12 Aug 2008
There are two really disturbing things about this film. First is the mindless atrocity perpetrated by the bombers themselves. Were they REALLY so stupid as to believe that the slaughter of innocent kids was going to further their cause? The second thing, though, was the obscene, smug, conspiracy of silence on the part of ALL the official bodies involved. God help us all when we have to rely on spineless, gutless individuals like that to maintain law and order. Everyone should see this film.
