Default Unseen Movie 101

Resurrection Man. 1998.

Based on the 1970s Belfast killings that a group of boys who killed their fellow Irishmen who were catholics.

I haven't read the book and only seen a documentary based on Lenny Murphy, here we have Stuart Townsend playing Victor Kelly who somehow must have got dropped on his head a few times or overly mothered by Brenda Fricker and begins to go on a killing spree. James Nesbit is the journalist looking for a story to follow and sets his eyes on this along with a detective trying to find the connection to the victims and stop the killers. The acting is decent in this, but times the violence and brutality is a bit harsh but we know what to expect with the background of the story. There could have been a bit more to tell on why Kelly had so much hate in him that would have made this more interesting.
