So yeah, this one really snuck up on me. Black '47, a lean, mean slice of rough justice set in the famine-stricken Irish hinterlands, is Ireland's answer to The Proposition, in all that entails. It bears a pseudo-mythic air to it, beautifully evoked by excellent cinematography and a powerful ensemble. There's a whole lot I could say, but really, I think everyone should go into this one blind (as I did) and almost surely you'll come out loving it (as I did).

I think it's on Prime. But yeah, this movie scratched itches I didn't even know I had. |

This has been among my favourite films of 2018 for quite some time. It's unflinching in it's portrayal of the time period and it creates an atmosphere of decay that sucks you in from the start. Also, everyone does a fantastic job in the acting department, especially Hugo Weaving. All in all I think it's one of the best revenge thrillers of the last few years.

It was a damn good film for a while, but a slow sense on increasing ridiculousness started to creep into it around the time of the standoff off at the Cronin house, which ended so poorly, I actually snorted in derision. It all fell apart a little after that, and I could never quite get back on board. Still, for a while, this was all rather impressive.

It hurts my soul you didn't love it, but I suppose I understand where you're coming from. |

And I want to thank ya stephen for giving us all the heads up on this film (wouldn't have even known about this little gem if it wasn't for this thread!) The kid from Animal Kingdom is all grown up and unrecognizable (and quite good in this too I might add). Hugo Weaving is also top notch as the conflicted character Hannah. The rest of the cast is solid and there are a lot of intense / unflinching great moments thru out. solid 8/10 |

I rewatched it a couple weeks ago because I was in the mood for a double-feature between it and The Proposition, and boy howdy, they went down smooth as fine whiskey. |
