Netherlands released, PAL/Region 2 DVD:it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ),Dutch ( Subtitles ),WIDESCREEN, SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s),SYNOPSIS: This action drama concerns political unrest and personal crises set against the battle for a free Ireland in Belfast in 1983. Gingy McAnally (Anthony Brophy) is a member of the Irish Republican Army who, after serving a stretch in prison, is once again called upon by the IRA to work with them. While McAnally is not certain if he wants to get involved with "the troubles" again, he grudgingly agrees after the safety of his wife and children is threatened by IRA henchmen. However, McAnally is soon busted by Lt. David Ferris (Cary Elwes), a British army officer, and is ruthlessly interrogated by Chief Inspector Rennie (Timothy Dalton), one of the leaders of the Belfast Police who is determined to put the rebels out of business. Rennie convinces McAnally that his only hope is to admit to everything he knows about the IRA and its members; McAnally sheepishly goes along with Rennie's demands, and in time, he strikes up a friendship with Ferris. However, McAnally discovers that betraying the IRA has put his life in grave danger; just as significantly, his wife and family are no longer sure that they can trust him after he turns in his comrades.

I watched the VHS version purchased some years ago. I am a big Timothy Dalton fan but this is far from his best work. The scenes are disconnected and the sound quality is poor. The Irish accent gets in the way of understanding conversations, and therefore the plot. Having spent some time in Northern Ireland, I know the history of the IRA "revolution" but if not for the news stories of that time, the story would not be revealed very well.
