It doesn’t get much more Irish than In the Land of Saints and Sinners, a visually gorgeous and ethically ambiguous new film from director Robert Lorenz (Trouble with the Curve). The movie, set in Northern Ireland circa 1974, stars Liam Neeson, Kerry Condon, Jack Gleeson, Colm Meaney, Ciarán Hinds, Sarah Greene, Conor MacNeill, Niamh Cusack, and more, as people whose lives become deeply intertwined in Glencolmcille, a coastal town seemingly safe from the political violence involved in the fight for a free Ireland. Except Neeson’s character, Finbar Murphy, has been hiding his violent profession as a hitman.
