Trivia
Despite being an American, Robert Lorenz decided to keep the film as authentically Irish as possible, not only employing an all-Irish cast, but also employing an all-Irish crew.

Goofs
At 6 minutes in, when Finbar and the Garda are discussing the broken sign, two wind turbines can be seen on a hill in the distance on the right-hand side of the screen. The 1st wind turbine in Northern Ireland wasn't until around 1995. The film is set in 1974.

Quotes
Finbar Murphy: There's more to me than this. I'd like people to see it.

Terrific 70s-based Irish dramatic thriller with some great performances and engaging writing

After their Belfast bombing goes awry in terrific 1974-based Irish dramatic thriller "In The Land of Saints And Sinners", IRA militant Kerry Condon (excellent again) & crew hide out in the small Donegal hometown of Ciarán Hinds (a quiet cop) and his pal Liam Neeson (a low lying hired killer (with Jack Gleeson (outstanding)) under Colm Meaney). As paths cross, friction flares, violence kicks in, all leading to quite the explosive show-down. While director Robert Lorenz doesn't QUITE do justice to his superb cast (the film's not as dark & weighty as it maybe coulda been), writers Mark Michael McNally & Terry Loane certainly still make it engaging. Eminently watchable fare.
