Review of 48 Angels

48 Angels (2007)
2/10
Not what it appears to be....
31 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This is another in a series of depressing Sinn Féin Irish Republican Army meditations. The film starts off great and the idea is terrific, it badly veers of course somewhere in the middle and the focus turns off of the child and onto the IRA and it stays there. It just gets more depressing as each minute rolls by. Murder, knee capping, kidnapping, betrayal and a dying child. It's all there and rolled out before you at an agonizing pace in this heartwarming comedy and meditation on God. If this film is "laugh out loud funny", then I invented the internet. There are a couple of cute bits in the film, but that's it.

The acting is fine, the cinematography is fine but nothing you have not seen before. This film is marketed as something it is not.

Renter beware...
