3.0 out of 5 stars Good acting with so-so results, October 16, 2010

This review is from: Boxed (DVD)

I appreciate the story line and the irony of a priest being held by Catholics who are members of the Irish Republican Army. The movie starts off with a twist when the wrong priest is kidnapped. I thought the lead actor was a very good and convincing actor but at times was confused by his and the IRA's actions. It was not made 100% clear why the Priest made the decision that he did in the end of the film to stay with the rest of the IRA members as well as walk out in civilian clothes. I could definitely watch the movie again and did not mind how it ended but was hoping to get some more clarity on why things turned out the way they did.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tricked, October 14, 2008

This review is from: Boxed (DVD)

I was hoping for a intelligent film

with something to inspire thought

regarding political struggle and

religion in the context of the

violent political factions in Ireland,

in this case a pseudo-IRA.

That is not what I experienced.

On the plus side, the acting was excellent

and the claustrophobic set for the

majority of the film created the appropriate

tense and desperate atmosphere quite well.

There were a couple of things that stand

out as spoilers for me.

Item #1: The armed group, under desperate

conditions, believes that it is important

enough for someone they are going to murder

to receive the sacrament of penance from a

priest that they place themselves at great risk

to see it done, yet the priest, as we learn,

does not think it is all that important, in fact,

he thinks it is unnecessary.

Why is he a priest?

Item #2: The armed grouping carrying out

this particular operation is commanded by a woman.

How often would a group of the type portrayed

under the conditions portrayed be commanded

by a woman?

Answer: As close to never as you can get.

Item 3: The priest was selfish and spiritually

and practically immature and his actions

led directly and unnecessarily to a greater tragedy

than the one he was trying to avoid.

The description of the film's plot

indicated that the story revolved around

a courageous priest.

I have no interest in viewing this film

again. I did not like it.

That's a one star review.

The extra star is for the acting and the

setting, both of which were really quite good.
