Average movie. Kind of slow and hard to understand what they were saying. Brad Pitt is gorgeous so it was really enough just to look at his face.

Such a great film, story, soundtrack, cast, Harrison Ford often seen as one of the greatest actors of all time and of course a young Brad Pitt who was rising up and I just have to say that he completely nailed the Irish accent, style, his body language, the way he acts and by far the star of the movie despite Harrison Ford being in it. Even though they supposedly didn't get along while filming this movie, and how controversial it may be to some, they completely nailed it and put all of that to the side. Its honestly a movie where you just adore both, one being the honest cop and the other fighting for a cause that was needed and that was right in his eyes, which let's all be honest we agreed with too and hoped that the worse didn't happen to him even if he was playing the bad guy, we wanted him to get away, or at least allow him to escape. However, the only thing that I do have to say that I didn't like much about it was the ending, as it cuts short, and how he dies, but like he said in the beginning "We don't get to choose what we want" and how its "An American Story, not an Irish one" which really just shows how much he went through, and how even in history the tradegies that occurred to get where they are today. Other than that, what an amazing movie. A movie that honestly brings you into a rollercoaster of emotions of intensity, sadness, joy, etc; where you just have so much to say about it especially the amount of effort alongside dedication put into it to make it authentic especially the accent Brad Pitt nailed.

I am 90% Irish been to Ireland to my da and my da was Irish solider and was killed for being one of the good guys but had to some terrible things so I related to this story!
