English An average and, next to films like Bloody Sunday and In the Name of the Father, unnecessary short film from the Belfast “war zone”, with a musical background in the form of two five-star songs by U2. The use of “The Troubles” has its moments, but the use of “Every Breaking Wave” is forced and doesn’t really make sense. ()
