'71 (2014)
Directed by Yann
Demange this film stars Jack O'Connell, Richard Dormer, Sean Harris,
Paul Anderson and Charlie Murphy. In Belfast in 1971 a British
soldier becomes separated from his unit in a Catholic controlled
region of the city.
While this film is
pushing an agenda it does a really good job of balancing realism and
tension to provide a good thriller. The action sequences never get
over the top and the plot embraces the complicated, confused nature
of Belfast in the time period. While this is not The Battle of
Algiers (1966) it is not fair behind in terms of quality.
4/5
