This film is a clock a digger kind of movie based on a real life infiltrator of the IRA. Ben Kingsley was just amazing. This film enlightens the watcher to the spoils of one of the worst terrorist states in the 20th century. By being an infiltrator, and a reluctant one at that. The main character: Martin McGartland, saved an estimated 50 people from the death caused by the IRA. Martin is also in hiding because of the fact that IRA agents were fingered by him.
I had no idea who the IRA was run, and this film explores the hierarchical set up. It was set up like an army. Many of the people's names have been changed to protect them, as they are also in hiding. This will hopefully be one of the better films to show the hardships of the IRA. It shows it gently, so the viewer can handle the subject matter. I would recommend this film to any history buff, or to anyone who is just interested in the subject matter.
