This really is avile exploitation movie, one of the worst I have ever seen. What makes the film so hard ro stomach for me is that it actually starts pretty well. German leading man Mathieu Carriere depicts a Vietnam soldier gone AWOL ending up in Belfast. He is a drifter who swaped "one hell for another". The depiction of violence in Northern Ireland is grim and realistic particularly one scene in which children play "execution". The sectarian violence is shown in a naturalistic way. This however then ends after about 40 minutes when the deranged protagonist holds a group of nurses hostage and sadistically kills them one by one. This is pure voyeuristic exploitation with a very sick mix of sex and violence. These torture scenes are among the worst and most repulsive I have ever seen.
