This one sounded bad on paper! An IRA drama wih Vinnie Jones, Samantha Mumba, Roger Daltry, Patrick Bergin and a famous boxer? Surely it wouldn't work? Wrong! It's a fine movie (in a straight-to-DVD sense!) where two IRA men escape from prison and shack up with Jones (who's the nicest character here!).

Don't expect too much, unfold your arms, and you just might like this film!
