Review of '71 (2014) by Hapycampr2002 — 06 Sep 2015
Great movie. I read complaints about the accents and the fact that you don't know who the "good guys" are. That could only have been written by an American. After I watched it I was grateful that it wasn't produced by or solely for an American audience because it would have been dumbed down considerably.
Smartly written and very well acted. A roller coaster of a movie that seemed to never let up. I laud the fact that this film did not take sides and has a nuanced approach to what it addressed regarding the conflict in Norther Ireland.
I've read my fair share on it, and it was a quagmire of competing forces that sometimes found the same sides pitted against one another. This movie showed that.
