It doesn't take long before the viewer understands that Ken Loach takes a clear political position with this film. At first it appears to be just about the Northern Ireland situation, but then it broadens into a larger conspiracy. It's up to the viewer to believe it or not, but it is never stated in the film that the facts depicted are real, because they can't be proven and are clearly partial.
Anyway despite this controversy, I think that as a thriller it is really well crafted, with a great pace and progression. I was glued to the screen as the investigation unfolded the mistery. Great performances too from the main actors.
