Review of '71 (2014) by Ellen G — 08 Mar 2015
Gritty. Some of the dialogue was hard to understand. It was also hard to follow who was whom, because they all wore brown clothes: the undercover military men, the Catholics, the Protestants, and the traitors.
Couldn't keep up. We didnt' need to see a long death scene of one of the pursuers, nor repeated close-ups of the main character's flesh wound. The scene where he stumbles down the street after the pub bomb went on far too long.
At the end, he is taken into a building and has a very dirty face, but a few minutes later when he is rescued his face is very clean. And what was up with the comrade who was wrestling with him??
