’71 (review)

Jack O’Connell (“Unbroken”) plays a British soldier who gets separated from his troop after a street riot in Belfast, 1971. He knows nothing about the area or who to trust and must survive the night in a war zone. After a taut, well-edited chase, the action takes on a cautiously apprehensive quality as the hunt becomes more intense. Expect to lose a portion of the dialogue (and subsequent plot) due to the thick Irish accents, but it doesn’t interfere from appreciating most the action. While it’s not riveting, there’s a solid pace and forceful momentum that holds your attention. (Criterion Cinema only)
