Route-ine

Route Irish (2011)

Director Ken Loach brings this thriller from frequent collaborator Paul Laverty to the big screen. Following the death of his best friend in Iraq a former private security contractor thinks there is something fishy going on.

This is a fairly standard thriller with few surprises along the way and covers much of the same ground that is common in a lot of Iraq war based films. Unfortunately neither the script nor the acting is especially good meaning this is on the weaker end of a fairly cluttered spectrum. Maybe for once Loach would have been better off working on a bigger budget with more established actors.

2/5
