There is a rich ethical murkiness that runs through this film on a near molecular level, and it strives to gets into the meat of what this kind of violent civil unrest and violence does to people.

'71 makes so much effort to be suspenseful that it doesn't have much time to get into nuance.

Nominated for nine awards at this year's British Independent Film Awards, ''71' will likely go widely unnoticed in the US of A even though it has success written all over it.

4.5/5

“‘71” wastes no time, throwing you right in the middle of the action, and never lets go for a single second throughout its 99-minute runtime.

A dark, gripping and disorienting action thriller about a young British solider accidentally left behind by his colleagues during 'The Troubles'. It's a fabulous thriller, brilliantly capturing the central character's disorientation; and drill more deeply in to his enemies' than we might expect.
