The follow-up by ..., the director of "No Man's Land", the film stars Colin Farrell as a war zone photographer trying to deal with the aftermath of a photo shoot in Kurdistan around the time of Saddam Hussein's gassing of the Kurds. Following his return home, his inability to deal with the memory of the experience threatens to destroy him.
The film is strongest in the scenes set in Kurdistan, with a strong performance by ... as the doctor who must decide who lives or dies from their injuries.
Unfortunately, the scenes in Ireland don't have the same impact. I was left with a feeling of the film being a bit off-balance, although there is good cameo work by Christopher Lee, as a Spanish therapist with a penchant for rehabilitating criminals of the Franco era.
