    Hunger has gotten great reviews everywhere, could anyone tell me why it was horrible, as it seems to be the consensus here.

    it has got loads of awards and stuff like that but to be honest its not that good. im not saying dont watch it. do. but dont be getting your hopes up. its just one of them low budget films. however 50 dead men walking is a low budget film but its a great film.

    An American foils a plot by the IRA to kidnap the Royal Family, not very well acted or anything and the IRA sound like they're from Wales but otherwise an ok film. I posted a link to H3 a few posts back, have a look at that mate.

    I've seen H3 already, thanks anyway mate. That doesn't sound like the same 'Patriot Game' that's on the Sinn Fein online store.

    Its a Tom Clancy novel, his world theory is good vs evil, evil seems to get the upper hand, good triumphs with vastly superior automatic weapons.

    This one is a documentary on the 6 counties. It shows the IRA at work, much of it filmed clandestinely. I think we were talking about different things mate.
