Review of Five Minutes of Heaven (2009) by Alec B — 12 Jul 2009

I think because the violence in Northern Ireland has become almost non-existent and is no longer "news worthy", we think that everything is magically alright there and we forget about it. Five Minutes of Heaven explores the deep wounds that still plague an area that had seen horrific violence for many years.

Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt are extremely good here and I like how the film doesn't become a sob fest about everyone "getting along" when it easily could have been.
