Serves as a companion piece to writer-producer Paul Greengrass' superb 2001 pic Bloody Sunday, but emerges as a startlingly powerful achievement in its own right.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
... unnervingly evokes both the panic and the confusion of a world suddenly ripped inside out.
... a good picture that's at its best when dramatizing the very violence it condemns.
