"I've been waiting for this DVD for a long time and it was worth the wait. Chuck Norris is at it again, defending the free world and bringing down the bad guys. If you like the average action movie, you'll love this as it is an outstanding example of the genre.MGM Gave this movie a pretty good transfer treatment, a fully anamorphic widescreen transfer with actual surround sound. Not bad for a 16 year old film that wasn't a blockbuster. Not much in the extras department, but digging up a widescreen trailer for the film is better than the nothing that they've given with some films.All in all a good, satisfying Chuck Norris movie and a great value DVD purchase."
"This movie is incredible. It is what defines us as human beings. The drama which takes place between Chuck Norris and the villains is a mirror image of the real worlds struggle for peace and unity. Chuck's acting is superb, and had he changed his facial expression even once I would not say this, but Chuck Norris may well be the greatest actor who has ever lived. I am at a loss for words at the beauty of what takes place within the all too short 110 minutes of this epic motion picture. The only comparable media i can think of with which to give you an idea of the greatness of this film is the Holy Bible. Do yourself a favor and purchase this testament to mankind. It WILL change your life."
"This superb gem deals with the tribulations, disappointments and disillusions once the ideals face against the crude reality. John lynch is Cal a teenage boy who wants to sever his ties with the IRA. But the other side of the dramatis personae resides precisely in the fact, the widow of the policeman he helped murder, falls in love with him and he doubts if he must tell the sordid story or not.
Helen Mirren won her First Prize in Cannes as best actress in 1984 with this towering performance; (the second Prize in 1995 was awarded by The madness of King George). Ambitious and mature film that share all honors together with Hidden Agenda of Ken Loach.
A legendary icon of the Eighties.

"This is one of the saddest, most beautiful movies I've ever seen. John Lynch and Helen Mirren give radiant performances and bring human faces to the struggle that is no-win for everyone. The members of the IRA are shown at once as monsters and victims and neither ever becomes the dominant way to view those who carry on the violence. Mark Knopfler wrote the soundtrack -- it only adds to the poignancy of the film. You can't miss w/ this one."
