    Not the expected action film

    A moving and well done film unless you are distracted by the apparently poor Irish accents. Some of the constructs are a bit stretched but nothing like 99% of other films out right now. A mix of suspense, sadness and reflections on life, different from my expectation of a more typical action movie.

    Off-Piste

    An army operation to take down an IRA cell goes badly wrong, resulting in the death of a young boy. Twelve years later, and his vengeful sister "Niamh" (Lara Lemon) is old enough to set off in pursuit of the soldier who, accidentally, shot him. That takes us to the remote French Alps where he now lives in recluse, with his blind violin-playing mother, trying even now to come to terms with what he has done. She finds him with remarkable ease, but her plan does not quite pan out - especially as her would-be boyfriend from Ireland "Ethan" (Jared Fortune) and his dangerous mate "Logan" (Paul McGuinness) also manage to find them both and it all turns particularly nasty. To call this an implausible story would be an understatement, the whole thing is borderline preposterous. The snowscape scenery is beautiful to look at, but the rest of this offers little by way of a credible thriller with Nathan Bevan-Stewart doing his best as the guilt-ridden soldier "Michael" but an ensemble of easy enough to look at, but hardly more than competent other on-screen talent lurching from unlikely scenario to unlikely scenario - only with guns and a rottenly contrived script. To be fair, it moves along quickly and once it gets going there is some action for us - but I'm afraid you have to leave you sensible head at the door....

    Solid movie to see at home

    Watched the movie and came to IMDb and realized the most voted review was really punishing on the movie although IMO it wasn't that bad.

    The movie serves its purpose and it doesn't drag the story making it a 1:30h enjoyable movie.

    Solid performances by all main actors.

    Not sure about the bad Irish accent since English is not my mother language but it probably helped me to understand the movie without subtitles.

    6,5 out of 10

    thanks

    Is this the best film in the world..no but then again it's definitely not the worst. Considering its small budget it has been beautifully shot. Some of the Northern Irish accents are a bit dodgy but the main actors manage it well. Lara Lemon won best supporting actress at the New York film festival and best actress at the Southampton film festival and these are not given out lightly. What I don't understand are the Mr. Angry reviews. Very strange ! Watch it you won't be disappointed. Lara Lemon has a brilliant name and is memorizing to watch. She's one to watch for the future For a small budget it was excellent

    depressing

    this film is slow moving sad and at times boring but i guess its not an awful movie and it's solid so i suppose you could at least say they tried and i think it was shot well

    ehhh i didn't hate it but i wouldn't watch it again so i don't know what to say to you because i don't think it's bad but it's not great either
