Directed by Yann DemangeÅret er 1971. Gary er en ung, britisk rekrut, der sammen med sin deling træner med henblik på en kommende udstationering i Vesttyskland. Meget overraskende sendes de imidlertid til Nordirland, hvor de havner midt i en smeltedigel i forsøget på at løse en kritisk situation forårsaget af en optrapning af IRA's terrorhandlinger. Garys deling får til opgave at patruljere i Belfast, men før han ved af det, bliver han adskilt fra resten af gruppen og befinder sig pludselig mutters alene på fjendtligt territorium, fanget bag fjendens linjer i noget, der mest af alt kan karakteriseres som en krigszone. Af frygt for konsekvenserne smider Gary sin uniform og bliver den ensomme ulv i et spindelvævsagtigt IRA-domineret kvarter og det udsete offer for en regulær menneskejagt. Højst uventet får han midt i krisens stund hjælp fra en dreng. Men er han én, man kan stole på?
Bag fjendens linjer Ratings & Reviews
- flavo4328. november 2025’71 is a gripping, relentlessly tense thriller that plunges viewers into the brutal chaos of The Troubles through the eyes of a young British soldier completely unprepared for the world he’s dropped into. Jack O’Connell delivers a phenomenal performance, portraying a recruit whose fear, confusion, and desperation feel painfully authentic as he becomes stranded alone in hostile Belfast streets after a riot spirals out of control. The film’s strength lies in its raw portrayal of the conflict—not as a clean political struggle, but as a murky, violent maze where loyalties blur and survival becomes the only objective. The cat-and-mouse pursuit is executed with visceral urgency, capturing both the complexity of the factions involved and the terrifying unpredictability of urban warfare. With its handheld realism, tight pacing, and emotional intensity, ’71 doesn’t take sides; instead, it exposes the human cost of a conflict defined by mistrust and tragedy. It is a standout modern war drama—lean, haunting, and unforgettable.
- alexandermock23. juli 2025Wonderful movie about a soldier stranded in enemy territory during the Troubles in North Ireland. It has themes such as dubious morals and motivations, as well as the old adage of “being a soldier means just being cannon fodder for the powers that be.” It is more of a thriller then a war film, and it’s interesting to see a ground level view of this long standing but low intensity conflict
- Cam Heitt27. maj 2025Great show, very engaging.
- Mister Arn21. maj 2025I followed the movie right up to the first shooting, but then it became very confusing.
- Tomcat50114. april 2025Brutal film
- ርልዪረ4. februar 2025Powerful and at times harrowing depiction of a squaddie sent to Belfast at the height of the ‘troubles’. Jack O’Connell stars as a Derbyshire lad Gary, who quickly becomes caught up in sectarian violence and who is forced to go on the run in unfamiliar territory, with murderous Catholic gunmen looking to add him to their tally of downed soldiers. With the added complication of the presence of two members of the covert counter-insurgency unit of the British Army in the middle of an operation, and an inexperienced and ineffectual commanding officer, Gary has to fight tooth and claw to survive and return to his regiment; particularly as his own countrymen, in the form of the undercover officers, see him as a risk to their operation, meaning his safety hangs by a thread on all counts. 3 people found this helpful
