Set in a city which has weathered hundreds of years of hatred, 30 years of bombs, and a war without winners, just victims. A new era brings new risks. There is peace, but that can also be deadly.
The haunted-looking Meaney carries much of the drama in a plot that muddies moral waters well but buckles under leaden pacing and overwritten dialogue.
Less controversial than its misguided PR mailer and a lot less newsworthy too. A thriller that means well but falls some way short of thrilling.
The plot scatters too many pieces about, putting the film's star off screen for long stretches. In his absence, the acting quality plummets drastically, and the momentum peters out, exposing this as a well-intentioned but amateurish effort.
Boring beyond belief.
