Actually showing in the loyalist town of Lisburn over here ! It's an excellent film, the acting is outstanding. Several of the events are based on fact such as the Kilmichael ambush and the landmine Tom Barry's men set up. It's not a pro IRA film. Shows the events that took place in Ireland around that time.A gentleman who wrote a book about the Tans was an adviser. His father was in charge of one of the barracks in and around Cork city and he worked from his fathers recollections. Spoke to him by phone a few years ago when he was writing the book, he required some information on uniforms and headwear. Lovely old guy, doubt he would have got it wrong.

The pirate dvd no doubt will be on the streets shortly.
