Boasting a plethora of Irish talent, the film is set in ’70s Ireland and follows Finbar Murphy – a man eager to leave his dark past behind who leads a quiet life in the remote coastal town of Glencolmcille far from the political violence that grips the rest of the country.
“But when a menacing crew of terrorists arrive, led by a ruthless woman named Doireann , Finbar is drawn into an increasingly vicious game of cat and mouse, forcing him to choose between exposing his secret identity or defending his friends and neighbors,” the plot synopsis reads. Alongside Oscar-nominees Condon and Neeson, the cast for the film also includes Ciarán Hinds , Colm Meaney , Conor MacNeill , Desmond Eastwood , Jack Gleeson , Niamh Cusack , Sarah Greene and Seamus O’Hara and Mark Michael McNally penned its screenplay.
And the movie has been received very positively – holding at the time of writing an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes – with Neeson’s performance, the supporting cast, the film’s setting and its emotional depth being singled out for praise.“Neeson’s quietness doesn’t simply come across as tough guy silence. Instead, there’s a maudlin introspection that bears surprisingly meaningful fruit.
In the Land of Saints and Sinners is streaming on Netflix in Ireland and the UK.
