Beautifully directed by Graham Cantwell. Impressive cinematography and a heartbreaking score
- The Dubliner
The film's period setting is impeccable, from the flared trousers to
the grainy cinematography, while the performances are stand-out. In its
swooping, scenic shots, action scenes and use of soundtrack Anton
reveals true talent in the form of director Graham Cantwell
- Metro
A very accomplished first feature, powerful, smart and impressive, beautifully shot
- Michael Doherty, RTE
A confident debut feature, commendably unpredictable. Captures a festering atmosphere of bigotry and misguided patriotism.

Well paced and moodily shot, believably recreates the paranoid
atmosphere of the borders in the 1970s. One of the better troubles
films to date
- The Independant
An impressive debut with stirring performances
