In the Land of Saints & Sinners
It’s 1974 in Northern Ireland, Finbar Murphy (Liam Neeson) is hitman trying to leave his dark past behind & lead a quiet life in a small quaint coastal town away from the political violence gripping the rest of the country at that time. However, 4 IRA members are hiding out nearby too. When one abuses a local little girl, Finbar feels the need to step in & stop him for good. The gang’s search for their missing member leads them to Finbar. This then becomes a cat & mouse game with Finbar trying not to expose his secret while protecting the locals, his friends & neighbors. Will he be exposed? Will he save his adopted town? Can he stop this gang? Will the gang get their revenge? I loved this Irish setting & their lovely accents, although I️ sometimes had a little trouble understanding what they said.
