- 匚卂尺ㄥFebruary 4, 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
