30 minutes in and nothing happens. 60 minutes in and nothing happens. 90 minutes in and still nothing happens. Just plodding in a homemade movie passive style.
A completely uneventful, unexciting and boring movie. Having watched this movie, for the first time, after over 40 years since it was first released posed a real challenge for a reasonable review, but this movie is so slow paced and linear that could not possibly have been an exciting and thrilling movie even back in 1979. Sadly the director failed pitifully to bring to life the potential of the story by Erskine Childers with some cinematic vigour and spirit of enthusiasm.
Due respect to the actors however who have done well what has been asked of them.
