Netflix has just released a new thrilling film, In the Land of Saints and Sinners, featuring a star-studded Irish cast that has been compared to the Avengers. This movie also marks the return of a beloved Game of Thrones villain, who had taken a break from the spotlight since leaving the show in 2014.
Directed by Robert Lorenz, the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival last September and was recently added to Netflix. With Hollywood superstar Liam Neeson as the lead, the cast also includes Irish Oscar nominees Kerry Condon and Ciarán Hinds, as well as veteran actor Colm Meaney, known for his roles in Die Hard 2 and Con Air.
The film also features rising star Sarah Greene, known for her roles in Bad Sisters and Normal People, and Jack Gleeson, who famously retired from acting after his villainous portrayal of Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones. However, Gleeson has made a comeback with this film and also appeared in popular shows like Sex Education and The Famous Five.
In an interview, Meaney expressed his excitement about the film being compared to the Avengers and praised the script and the talented cast. Meanwhile, Condon, who plays the ferocious villain in the film, has received critical acclaim for her performance.
The movie has an impressive 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Empire magazine describing it as a "solid, old-fashioned Irish Western." The Financial Times' Danny Leigh also compared Neeson's role to that of legendary Hollywood tough guys like Clint Eastwood.
As the film was released on Netflix, fans raved about the stacked cast and stunning scenery of Donegal. In the Land of Saints and Sinners is set in 1974 Ireland and follows the story of Finbar Murphy, a man trying to leave his dark past behind. However, when a group of dangerous terrorists led by ruthless Doirean threatens his town, Finbar is forced to confront his past and make a difficult decision.
