Finally seen it last night,and to be honest I expected better. I've never read the book,but I did own a copy of the Panorama documentary about him from 1993 (which was much more exciting)
I can see why Marty McGartland has the hump with the makers of the movie,mixing fact and fiction in such a way is a huge insult to the author.
As to be expected,all the soldiers seemed to be thick as f uck,none of them bothered to take up fire positions,they called everyone "Paddy" whilst sneering at them and the search teams smashed up the houses with axes.................YAWN.
What about attention to detail? I thought fim makers these days were into making "realistic" movies these days?
