That might be over harsh. It is quirky with some very funny dialogue so not a complete waste of time but don't expect much to avoid disappointment. Far from a work of art though.

Its No Die Hard is what you're saying?

Just like the film Belfast and the associated hype, was another that didn't deserve the acclaim.

You'll hate the other one about here, An Irish goodbye...
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

An extended Van Morrison promo video.

I thought Belfast was very good.

Especially as I wasn't expecting much after the feedback from this place.

I thought there was a very good movie buried in there not far below the surface.  The acting was good, as was the (non-musical) script.  But I f**king hate Van Morrision's music--fingernails on chalkboard hate--and the constant interruption of the movie by his tunes was just oppressive.

I watched it pretty soon after it was released, so maybe had higher expectations given the media talk about it. Sometimes movies automatically get credit for simply being focused on key historical events, irrelevant of how good the actual movie is.

Actually watched two Northern Ireland films over the past few years that I thought were brilliant, and more enjoyable than Belfast and Banshees. One was Bad Day for the Cut and the other was Nightride.

Watched it on Sat myself. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, while the wife uttered "what the f**k is this" 30 mins into the show. Seems to be marmite
