Review by skepticskeptical

In this film, In the Land of Saints & Sinners, I'd be hardpressed to identify who the saints are supposed to be. I also believe that the blurb for this production is inaccurate, because the reasons for the hitman returning to his "calling" have nothing to do with politics whatsoever.

Essentially, what we have here is something in the aging hitman genre but with a twist. A new, and bold thesis is defended, asserting not only the so-oft floated idea that hitmen are really not all bad, but also that they are much, much better than IRA militants in Ireland.

You may have noticed that Ireland finally split into two parts: Ireland and North Ireland, the former of which is a part of the EU, and the latter of which is still in the UK. But no matter what the long history of factional struggle wrought on that island during the twentieth century, here we learn that, in fact, as bad as hitmen may be, IRA fanatics are worse.
