This docudrama (shot in grainy, shaky-cam style) provides a thrill-ride when Gary Hook (Jack O'Connell of Unbroken) a British private is thrust into the confusing, dangerous world of the mean streets of Belfast during the Troubles between Protestant Loyalists and the Catholic IRA. Matters are not helped by the fact that the Loyalists are often aided by the British covert Military Reaction Force and the complicating factor that the IRA is splintered into moderates and the younger, violent militants. So who can Hook trust to help him get back to safety? The scenario provides white-knuckle suspense that Hitchcock would have loved. However, given the sometimes unintelligible, thick Irish accents, subtitles would have been most welcome.
