Review of '71 (2014) by David J — 07 Mar 2015
I don't know what's with everybody's hype on this one. I thought, performance wise, that was great. But as a thriller, that was not as engaging or some sort. Maybe of its uninteresting plot.
Though this guy, the protagonist, was a soldier, accidentally abandoned by his unit following the riot happening in Belfast 71. Till such, he was chased by a number of civilians and make his way through survival.
The only part I was interested in, where he was chased, the bombing scene and the last part of the film. That's it. I thought this was more of a "sleeper thriller" that should have been better.
It's okay, I like the 70's look of this film. Just a one time watch. 3/5.
