In the Land of Saints and Sinners (8/10)

This is Liam Neeson’s generally annual early-year thriller. Some have been good (the first, very good) and some not so good. This is one of the good ones. While Finbar Murphy (Neeson) leads what appears to be a mellow life in an isolated coastal town (Glencolmcille) in the early ‘70s, he is a political assassin in the Irish wars.

Enter Doirean (Kerry Condon), a brutal, a brutal, emotionless, cold-blooded killer on the other side, who ends up targeting Finbar with her vicious crew. Well directed by Robert Lorenz from a script by Mark Michael McNally and Terry Loane, it is enhanced by captivating cinematography (Tom Stern) of the desolate, but beautiful Irish seaside.

The conclusion is one of the better denouements one will see, with the tension rising by the second. My only problem with it was the audio. I watched it on a link to my computer and had a very difficult time with the thick Irish brogues and seemingly low-quality audio. Even though that could have been my computer, films in which people speak in deep accents should be enhanced by captions. Even without understanding much of the dialogue, though, it is so well done that I could follow what was going on.
