| A powerful poster for Paul Greengrass' Bloody Sunday |
QUICK REVIEW:
Bloody Sunday recounts the day when nearly 30 people were gunned down by British special troops in the Irish town of Derry, while participating in a civil rights protest against the English advance.

| Actor James Nesbitt in Paul Greengrass' Bloody Sunday |
The film is a well staged and multi-faceted portrayal of the events, mainly from the perspective of the protest planners, which clearly points its finger at the excessive use of force by the Brits. Excellent acting, - and very well-achieved by English writer-director Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips (2013)): He succeeds in maintaining suspense, as we slowly move towards the already known end, the mass murder.
The story is a heinous tragedy, a dirty spot in English history, which was only recently formally excused for by current British PM, David Cameron.
Very good film.
