i do not have much time for jim sheridan before i saw this movie and after see it i have none . this movie be pitiful . the script and direction and act be simply woefull and it have a perspective of irish politics a view from a subway tunnel . it an absolute howler of a movie with a rather nasty plot straight out of the joesph goebbels school of poltical dishonesty . it insidious and deceitful and downright dishonest . this movie be an insult to people in belfast and derry . i would never think particularly highly of jim sheridan before see this but after see it i think even less .
