Five Minutes Of Heaven (2009)



Set in Northern Ireland, the film is about how violence shatters lives, and whether 'revenge' can always find its way to cover up the loss & grief or how hate and regret can meet and be resolved. The story starts with Joe Griffen's meeting with Alistair Little through a TV docu program. 25 years ago, Little (Liam Neeson) murdered Griffen's brother for nothing more than being Catholic...he watched his brother murdered, and later blamed by his own mother for doing nothing to stop it (though he was only nine). Now he is eager to take his revenge as soon as he come face to face...he wants to have his five minutes of heaven.


Compelling movie, recommended.

>>: B+
