Review of '71 (2014) by Steviegjd — 05 Apr 2015
This is a great film. The complaints about not being able to understand the dialogue are either misplaced or ignorant. I am not Irish and I understood 99% of the dialogue, certainly everything that mattered.
This movie is like "The Warriors" or "Escape from New York", except not as stupid. A young British kid left in Northern Ireland, in a conflict he has no interest in, with a hostile group of locals.
The movie builds its own intensity and drive. The background or makeup of the side characters does not matter. It is simply enemies versus friendlies. The movie develops an amazing momentum and drive that leads us to the not-totally-satisfactory conclusion, that resembles early 70s films.
Loved this film.
