A tough, violent thriller set in Northern Ireland which tells of a dance band saxophone player who witnesses a brutal double sectarian murder then embarks on a nightmare journey of vengeance. Novelist Neil Jordan's superb directorial debut was produced by John Boorman, and the influence of the latter's 'Point Blank' (laconic avenger relentlessly pursues justice) is cleverly assimilated into a gripping and terryfying debut of immense power. Jordan has made many successful films since but few have bettered the intense atmosphere and stark vision achieved here. < less
