Plot Summary

In the 1980's when the Irish civil conflict was at its most treacherous, 22-year-old Martin McGartland was recruited by the British police to infiltrate and spy on the IRA. He lived his life under constant threat of exposure and subsequent guaranteed torture and death, yet he continued because his information saved many lives. He enjoyed the buzz until one day he was discovered and had to escape against all odds. Inspired by a true story, to this day he is on the run.

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: A streamlined, adrenalized thriller that is not as deep as it would like to appear, treads a retrospective political tightrope. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, Aug 21, 2009

Fresh: Jim Sturgess makes a believable cocky lad who signs on for the con; an oddly bewigged Ben Kingsley is fussier and too actorly as his handler. – Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: Skogland is a crisp and efficient storyteller. She keeps the players vivid and relatively honest, and never shies away from the brutalities. – Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: Sturgess is solid and Kingsley predictably sneaky, but the atmosphere -- scurries through the Catholic/Protestant border, tense stand-offs, spontaneous riots -- is what's genuinely gripping. – Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News, Jun 24, 2010

great movie

but it was a little hard to understand the heavily accented irish speakers.

Fifty Dead Men Walking

A real thrill ride - I loved it - Jim Sturgess is fantastic, Kevin Zegers is amazing and Ben Kingsley gives a subtle and touching performance. A must see.
