5.0 out of 5 stars Now I Know Why I Like Liam Neeson!, January 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Lamb [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I had never heard of this movie when I picked it up and watched it. It has a very interesting story and now I understand why Spielberg picked him to star in Schindler's List! It has a couple of good surprises in it too. I really enjoyed it and you will too if you don't like the same old stories that the Hollywook ilk churn out.

What a disappointment!,
I TOO am a huge Liam Neeson fan, but What a disappointment!
A FRAGMENTED script--VERY depressing and frustrating.
ENDS ABRUPTLY LIKE COMING TO A DEAD END AFTER GOING
A LONG DISTANCE WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS.

This review is from: Lamb [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an brilliant ,while at the same time,a very unusual movie.It was released in 1985,but somehow I had never heard of it until I came across the DVD.By the way,several reviewers have stated that they were very disappointed with the reproduction quality of the DVD.I am writing this review under the VHS version,as the DVD I have is not like the double movie .Mine has only one,"Lamb"and I found no problems with it.It was by Direct Source Special Products,ISBN 1-896306-91-8,Item #DVD 20089.
The movie has a lot of interesting characters and well played,but really only Brother Michael Lamb (Liam Nesson) and Owen Kane (Hugh O'Connor) have major parts.The whole story is really about them,and the other characters appear only briefly.The movie is totally an Irish movie ,though part of the story takes place and was filmed in London.There are some great scenes of the Irish countryside,St.Kiaran's Reform School in Galway,beaches,and street scenes and other locations in London;but it is by no mean a travelogue.
The story is very emotional,and both Kane and Lamb are struggling hard in coming to terms with their lives and situations.Watching the movie,you will also feel their problems.Both Nesson and O'Connor are excellent for these roles and played them masterfully.
Of course,you are really wanting to know how things are going to work out for them;but the thing that makes this movie one that is unusual,and which will remain with you;is the sudden and totally unexpected ending.
