I agree with Ryan. What's up with you? The point of this movie is that there is no point to religious fighting. It's just prejudicial. I fell sorry for the innocent people that get brainwashed. Sad. Maybe someone will realize that when they see this powerful movie.

Grow up and grow some brain cells! There is no "god!" Religion is the cause of a great deal of fighting, and one day when people are all atheist

(which is still probably a long way off, because it is in our human nature to hope for an afterlife:

there will be less fighting and more smart people.

Anyway, I believe that overpopulation will be the greatest challenge to face mankind, but that's no reason to kill people off due to religious fighting.

hmmmmm.....Africa???? Not sure what to comment on this because I find it hard to believe that you thought this took place in Africa, but sadly there are a lot of misinformed people in the world. Ireland is not in Africa. And just in case it really was filmed in Africa for some strange reason, I looked it up on IMDB: "Although set in Belfast, the film was almost exclusively shot in the run-down docklands and Sheriff Street area of Dublin's North Inner City." So no. P.S. STUDY GEOGRAPHY :-P

Overall I thought that this film was well done. It gives viewers a glimpse into the turmoil and of Northern Ireland and the sentiments surrounding it. That been said...it definitely felt like something was missing although can't say what.

Yes that would be nice...and while we are wishing how about everyone realize that there are a bunch of religions in the world and, for instance, Christianity is not the only truth. I was raised Catholic, and it is amazing in this day and age that some people still think they are "saving" someone if they convince or force them to convert to Christianity.

I'd have to say it is exactly a boxing movie. There is a lot more to boxing than stepping into the ring with the intent of hurting someone, like so many movies try to make it seem. Every boxer has a life outside the ring.

I have no clue about the IRA, so can't comment on the validity of the movies contents on that.

I, very much, enjoyed watching a boxing movie that focused on a boxer, rather than on a fight scene. Be it realistic or not, the warfare back story added a lot to the entertainment value.

I watch movies to be entertained or informed. I don't expect both, that seldom happens.

This was an exceptionally entertaining movie.

More than a boxing movie, and like many other good movies, it takes a while to get off the ground.

Pure fiction as regards to the real IRA, but good as a representation of the real conflicts inherent in such a strife-ridden background.

Durn good movie. Glad I saw it.
