Absolutely cracking film, the lad was trying save the lives of both protestants & catholics by preventing a number of attacks, despite repeatedly asking the 'peelers' to let his pals in the PIRA get away he was branded a tout & 2 attempts made on his life, is a harrowing & basically true story of a cheeky catholic lad growing up during the troubles, as did i but in northern england, i feel for Marty (McGartland) .
Pls. just THINK, a 23 or so y/o YOUNG catholic-irish man, born into the troubles & joined the IRA before becoming disollusioned with the violnce, he could only make a diff. by preventing PIRA attacks of course as thats all he knew, but he 100% catholic-republican, now think TODAY - WHAT millenial soy infested vegan blue haired snowflake would be willing to loose this, to loose his lovely young wife, all his friends, his 2 children, his family AND his homeland he had joined to fight for but ultimately had the morals to stop some murders of people u didnt even care for or know. Zero todays selfish society, he should be a HERO & been given civil/military awards, but instead MI5 abandoned him to the IRA so they would kill him & protect a different mole (was steakknife scappatici i assume), he a damn hero & should recognised as such.
