This is the captivating true story of Martin (Jim Sturgess), a Irish Catholic street punk who decides to infiltrate the IRA back in 1988. This movie can be graphic at times but it shows you the fight between the Unionists and the Republicans and how unwilling their were to cooperate with each other in Northern Ireland. Martin goes through a lot of emotions as he's trying to be careful not to give himself up. It was a sad war where lots of innocent people died, but the sacrifice that Martin made and it was a big sacrifice saved many. The movie also stars Ben Kingsley as a unionist that convinced Martin to become an informant, and Rose McGowan as the unions big target Grace. I would've done without Rose and her sad attempt at an Irish accent but oh well the movie was still very good. Three and The Half Stars Out of Five
