Throughout the majority of the film there was a palpable sense of hopelessness, hostility and dead-lock, with suspense playing a prominent role in achieving that. What the film also excelled in was the gut-wrenching empathy toward the people drawn into the conflict - whether innocent or made an article to one party or another - with a few moments showing the brutality, cruelty, unfairness and silliness of war. Can be hard to follow all the different fractions if you're unfamiliar with the matter

A tense and compact thriller that manages to excite and educate about a specific historical era, while also finding some touching moments of humanity amidst all the violence. The film unfolds sort of like a docudrama, briefly establishing characters and then immersing them in the heat of conflict without much exposition, which heightens the film's tension and explosive effect. A hidden gem of 2014 and smartly and thoroughly executed.

Most Americans know next to nothing about The Troubles and "'71" doesn't do a hell of a lot of hand holding, but paints the conflict in broad strokes. Importantly, "'71" is quite effective at showing the kind of crazy that was going on in Ireland during the time, not a lot of movies have done that before. I had a hard time in figuring out what exactly was going on, who was on what side, but maybe that's the point. It's a decent movie, not a whole lot more.

A good natured British soldier is tossed through a meat-grinder and endures an unbelievable amount of horrible coincidences as a way of illustrating how fucked up the streets of Belfast were in 1971. Sometimes the action is exciting, but one gets the impression the soldier is merely a sacrificial lamb, and the surrounding conflict is merely a metaphor for "violence begets violence" and "think about the children". Not a horrible message film, but a little too on the nose for my tastes.

Atmospheric thriller, which gets to the meat of the plot very early on, and then turns into a suspenseful game of cat-and-mouse played out in dark, moody locations with a few neatly portrayed supporting characters. The director did a good job of portraying how confusing the N.I. situation can be for an outsider, and how loyalties can depend on many unpredictable factors. I thought the ending was a bit of a let-down though, quite formulaic. The first half however was gripping.

Really disappointed in this one. Horribly shot and edited action props up a cliche riddled story with characters so thin they are actually hard to tell apart. Surprised by all the high scores for this, especially surprised by all the praise Jack O'Connell has gotten for his underwhelming performance in an underwritten role.

A graphic movie about a horrendous true story. There is pretty much non-stop action. The young soldier finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time & his struggle to survive was both scary & riveting. I needed subtitles for the spoken English. Their thick accents were hard to understand. Acting performances were excellent throughout. Jack O'Connell made an excellent lead. Production quality was good. Music and sound was also good. There was not much setup to the story though.

Demange's film, spiked by an all-stops-out O'Connell, makes politics unnervingly personal.

The raw action works and builds up some really intense moments, especially in the first half, but the structure of the ungrateful army and its alway-evil characters felt a little outworn for my taste.

Very well executed thriller that delivers a lot more than it might promise to. Shaky-cam for once works, and in the early chase scene works spectacularly well, and the brutality, complexity, fear and confusion of the troubles are portrayed in a gripping manner. Disappointingly it also contains a fair few plot cliches, but definitely worth a go.

Cheesy book-ends and a slightly muddled anti-war message but it's an alright action/thriller. "posh cunts telling thick cunts to kill poor cunts" indeed.

A fine movie that keeps the tension going during its 90 or so minutes. The performances are all pretty good here, especially that of the lead (Jack O'Connell) and the young Protestant boy he encounters part of the way through. Great cinematography, and I especially like the film's use of color. Belfast is bathed in yellow-orange throughout the movie, which is meant to show the sickness of the city due to the rioting and factionalism. The ending is also highly successful and fittingly melancholy.
