Review of Five Minutes of Heaven (2009) by Steve S — 18 May 2010

Performance oriented powerful drama about two veterans who the media arrange a one on one meeting with 30 years after one of them killed the other's brother during the Irish conflict. One of them has been living with gulit all the years where as the other has been trauamtised by having witnessed his brother's death, all his life.

One is out for revenge and the other for redemption. Both Neeson and Nesbitt shine in meaty roles especially Nesbit as the traumatised brother. The climax is not what one you would expect but is thoroughly satisfying.
