In a remote Irish village, a damaged Finbar (Liam Neeson) is forced to fight for redemption after a lifetime of sins, but he will have to pay the price. He will have to play a game with three revengeful terrorists. In the land of saints and sinners, some sins can't be buried.

- 7.0 Screen DailyFionnuala Halligan
Neeson looks as strong as ever in the role of the 'big guy': he's 71, and all indications are that he'll keep on sinning, as long as there's a kid in trouble.
Read - 5.0 The Hollywood ReporterDavid Rooney
Neeson does his best to bring integrity to the role. But the script is riddled with clichés and the film lacks emotion despite the abundance of guns, knives and bombs.
