10/10
One of the most important Irish films...
13 December 2021
Michael Collins is one of the most important figures in Irish history, and the film captures his life almost perfectly. With a few historical inaccuracies it tells his story, from the end of the Easter Rising (1916) to his death in (1923). Liam Neeson is perfect for his role as Collins and Alan Rickman is a very good choice for Eamonn De Valera. It fully captures the brutality of the Black & Tans, who committed numerus war crimes during the War of Independence (1919 - 1922) and the tactics employed by the Irish Guerilla forces. The whole movie is very much enjoyable from start to finish, a must watch.
