....of rubbish. Usual shallow understanding of the complexities of the Northern Ireland situation, everything reduced down to pathetic stereotypes, and simplicities. And then you have the incredibly sloppy plot holes. A major politician with one of the two most important positions, in a country where security is a major concern, where appearances are crucial, with NO PSNI security around him just his mates (yes, even Sinn Fein reps have govt security). British SAS types, breaking through the ceiling of a hotel to get to their targets but NOT putting anyone on the front door, allowing people to walk straight out?! It's a wonder half the city of London isn't on fire with class work like that. Chan gave an excellent downbeat performance but can't help but wish it wasn't in an utter mess like this.
