The Irish...

Watched Five Minutes of Heaven last night, an interesting and complex movie about "reconciliation", "forgiveness" and revenge.  Liam Neeson plays a Protestant killer in N. Ireland, and James Nesbitt (from Waking Ned Devine) plays the brother of one of his victims.

The movie doesn't go where you think it will, and you won't have "the answer" when you're done watching it.  I felt detached, almost clinical, watching it, but as Peg said, it's one I'll think about for some time.  It also is an interesting look at "reality TV" which, of course, is anything but.
