From the draw of the curtain to the last fade, this film hits the ground running and doesn't stop. The cinematography is a great study in how to effectively film chaos. If you're looking to get the most of the story, which is the fight for Irish independence in 1920, you'll probably want to put on the subtitles to cut through the thick, quick accents.
If you're a military buff, then this movie makes a great companion piece to The Battle of Algiers and other films dealing with insurgencies.
