A very good movie

Nowadays, Paul Greengrass, is mostly known for helming the 2 two successful sequels of the Bourne franchise. To be honest, even though I enjoyed those movies, they were not my favorite Bourne movies (I actually prefer the 1st installment) and they are not even my favorite movies directed by Greengrass. Indeed, even though those two were some solid action flicks, I actually enjoyed more his highly realistic historical features, above all ‘Flight 93’ which must be one of my favorite movies of all time, and also ‘Bloody Sunday’ which must be the most underrated movies directed by Paul Greengrass. Back then, when it was released, it was actually quite heralded and even won the Golden Bear at the Berlin movie festival but it was eventually quickly overshadowed by ‘The Bourne Supremacy’ which came just 2 years later. It is a real shame because it is a quite a harrowing drama giving a great insight on one of the biggest tragedies of our modern times. I mean, we always talk about how the Palestinians and the Israelis have been butchering each other for decades but, not so far way, in Nothern Ireland, the situation was actually quite similar and it is only recently that the whole thing seemed to have been finally settled. To conclude, I thought it was a very good historical drama and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
