Colette McVeigh and her
family were grief stricken in the 1973 when she asked her younger brother to go
out for cigarettes for their dad and he was killed. He was an innocent victim of the conflict in Belfast involving
the IRA. The family joined the insurgency
after their loss. Twenty years
later, Colette has a son of her own.
In 1993, she is brought in to see an agent of MI5 after a failed bombing
attempt in the London tube. She is
forced to become a double agent or go to prison for 25 years and have her son
taken into child protective services.
Suspicions are immediately aroused when her brother’s secret operation
is ambushed.
As soon as this film was over, all I could say was, what happened? A lot of plot twists and turns, believable
in the beginning but then hurried without sufficient explanation at the end. 3* (This movie is OK)
102 min, Drama directed by James Marsh with Clive Owen,

Gleeson, Aidan Gillen.
