Now playing in theaters
Directed by: Lance Daly
Starring: Hugo Weaving, James Frecheville, Stephen Rea, Freddie Fox
One man’s ruthless pursuit of justice plays out against the darkest chapter of Irish history in this riveting revenge thriller. In 1847, battle-hardened soldier Feeney (James Frecheville) deserts the British army to return home to Ireland, where he finds his country ravaged beyond recognition by the Great Famine. When he discovers that his mother has died of starvation and his brother has been hanged by the British, something snaps, sending Feeney on a relentless quest to get even with the powers-that-be who have wronged both his family and his country. There is only one man who can stop Feeney’s bloody crusade: disgraced British army veteran Hannah (Hugo Weaving), whose own loyalties may be more complex than they appear…

Its refreshing to see a trailer for an actual movie with a story.
He is grandchildren of SISU
100% movies theses are really badly made no attention to detail.
afhter i see Ki--ers of the Flower Moon i find this master pice.
@@blacknass1943 oh wow was It bad
It was made in 2018 . One of the few movies to come up before the Entertainment Industry went super woke. The Entertainment Industry does not make these type of movies anymore
It's mad how the lead actor isn't even Irish. He has a pure Irish face and he pulls off the accent fairly well. Good job!
Caoímhín MacCana and his Irish in the film was great!
He is Australian, he probably has Irish heritage.
What is a "pure" Irish face? On the southwest coast of Ireland many of them are dark, almost Spanish looking.
@@WallStwizkid thats just not true tho is it
@@WallStwizkid In Ireland "pure" is slang for "very" ... so when I said he has a pure Irish face it just means he looks Irish. IDK how to explain it but I know an Irish looking face when I see one! lol
That one kid is turning up in everything. The one with the squinty eyes... The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Dunkirk, Calm with Horses and Eternals. Barry somethin rather. Hell of an actor.
Barry Keoghan. He pops up in Chernobyl and The Green Knight too. Kid's got range.
He’s a chancer
@@Beanbag777 yeah I’ve since come to know him and his work a lot more, Barry Keoghan… he was great in Banshees of Inisherin… and a few other things of late. He was the Joker too at the end of Matt Reeves The Batman.
The joker😊
Saltburn And he's going to be in Gladiator 2 and Dune 2
I truly enjoyed this film and was quite startled that it received a poor rating. I mean, this film actually does exactly what great filmmaking is all about, which is to present a story to the audience that they can follow and relate to, to show, not tell, to create rich, complex characters that we can either like or hate, and it touches upon the subject of the human condition. This film provided a great glimpse into the darkness that was the Irish Potato Famine, allowing the audience to empathize with the victims and to have characters like Hugo Weaving's Inspector Hannah and Barry Keoghan's Private Hobson provide characters that destroy any potential chance of stereotyping, particularly amongst the English characters, as the two create a father and son bond that is quite moving, particularly as Hobson's death in trying to help starving people get food pushes Hannah further into helping the Irish people and to seek revenge for his former best friend Martin Feeney and his surrogate son Hobson.
Thanks for the spoilers...
@@sNiCdTHMUNkY You started reading the comments section of a 5 year old movie and expected there to be no spoilers, are you for real lol
never allow movie ratings decide what film is good... You be the decider...
@@IsThisHandleTaken so you‘ve watched every movie ever made within x years of its release? Congratulations!
@@sNiCdTHMUNkY Lol chill fam, perhaps you're new to youtube comments? The idea that you would scroll down and expect people to not discuss plot elements of the movie (particularly one that is 5 years old) is bonkers. Nobody owes it to you to shield you from spoilers in the comments section
This film is classic! I though I was about to watch a depressing historical drama about the Irish famine, but it turned out to be a remake of First Blood set in victorian times! He even has a big knife.
Bought a book recently called The Encyclopedia of the Irish Famine. Absolutely brilliant read with real facts and paper work from the famine. Cost 59 euros. The film is good but us Irish need a real movie made on our famine. The real facts are hurtful and our people suffered so much. Truth is it would take alot longer then 90mins. Still appreciate the film
Far and away. Iol
Put it on my "to read" list.
I am gonna buy that book to read- Love from the Philippines
Does your book tell you it was a genocide done on the Irish by the english.
It wasn’t a famine, food was plentiful other than the potato. It was an intentional starvation of Irelands poor.
I have English and Irish blood. I fight with myself a lot.
Between drinks I’m sure.
Same
@notimportant brits are stereotyped as drinkers as well so don't think that was a personal jibe at just the irish
@notimportant I'm half Irish half English and tbh the stereotypes are true, we are boozy nations. Europeans meet us and find us too wild. Found this when I when I travelled Australia, the brits and Irish are always the last standing. Always one more drink to have to keep going. I'm not saying your not wrong BTW about the British stereo type as even the company Guinness were complicit in this sort of message
So ur a half brit or a Walsh
Such a sad period. Many died on "Coffin Ships" trying to make it to America to escape the famine. It's estimated that 30% died on the ships crossing the Atlantic. Then, many died after getting to America from the diseases caught on the ships.
I watched and enjoyed the movie. Had a john rambo vibe to it. Coming back from war overseas , skilled and experienced. Coming home to nothing. Worth the watch .
This is a film that tells you so much from the little information it gives. You see one scene and just what is in frame tells you more about the British rule in Ireland than any lesson I've ever sat through.
I agree that the the British occupation of Ireland was abhorrent, but I'd be wary of taking history lessons from movies or TV shows.
@@annwe6👍🏴
Or rather, it caters to your prejudice and preconception about history.
Long live the English!! Hahahaha!
@@normalbehaviour476 Absolutely agreed!! Hohohoho!
Sadly, the Irish were thought of as even lower than the highlanders. They burned our houses and cleared our people out of the glens. Nova Scotia, NZ and Australia were where my people ended up. We had famine too, but nothing like the depths of horror seen in Ireland. Our stories have yet to be told on the silver screen, and I suspect it may never happen, but at least this is a start.
Utter shite
You seem to know a lot about this so why don't you tell the story you feel needs to be told.
Mine as well have been called NAZISS
@@scotcharron1679 who do you think invented concentration camps - ask the Afrikaners
My people from Australia copped it also they murdered the Aboriginal people by tribes back then,and we still fighting them today
Erin Go Bragh... Ireland forever
Truth is painful, but it must be Told! Respect to the film makers!
Frecheville did an amazing job. bravo
This cast is insane! Seriously. Wow!
Never underestimate the power of a human being under the influence of starvation.
I lived 13 years in Ireland Dublin , beatiful City great Irish Culture , if you read irish history you will be shocked .
"Weaving is brilliant". When is he not brilliant?? 😍 And he has the most marvelous deep voice.
Yeah I remember "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" with this movies
If you want to be shaken, listen to Loreena McKennett's version. It's haunting.
Weaving, the guy who played Tammany, the blonde kid from Legend of the Sword....what a cast. Seems that it's gonna be a drama driven action flick which are the best (and only real) kind.
Powerful film. So damn disturbing what happened back then...and yet, this kind of oppression and brutality still exists today.
Yes , it is called the EU.
@@bernardmcavoy1864 man shut up.
@@alexguymon7117 And you.Whoever you are and wherever you are from.
@@bernardmcavoy1864 what are you on about? How do you compare an international body meant to facilitate inter European trade and diplomacy the same as a famine what some consider a genocide? That is like equating NAFTA to the Holodomor or the UN with the Cambodian Genocide like what???
@@alexguymon7117 Ask Santa to bring you a sense of humour for Christmas.
Movie was fantastic, wasn't expecting it to be as great as it was. Now one of my favorite's.
Surprised I haven't heard of this before, can't wait to see it! Hope the band Black 47 is on the sound track!
I loved this film. It was more intimate than most I've seen about the subject.
Where can you watch I?I cant wait to see it on y phone
It’s now on Netflix in the UK
@@tracieproctor2167You watch movies on your phone? Do you also eat soup with a fork?
@@_TheDudeAbides_ you're just lucky you don't know me ☺️
@@_TheDudeAbides_ get a life
This movie was terrific! Thought I was gonna be watching a B-level low budget flick...really well done!
Was expecting a drama period piece. Not Irish John wick. Pacing was excellent
Knowing how England had colonized so many different nations and lands all around the World, I am not too shocked they dicked around with people living on the island next to them. Oh yeah, the movie was awesome!
It wasn’t solely England, Scotland were co-founders of the British empire
Assassin's Creed game now please good storyline, Irish 🇮🇪 assassin's against british templars that caused the genocide in Ireland, then lied to the world and called it a famine 😡
take my money
I'll pay for that
The famine still happened
Hell yeah
Holy fuck, I would play the shit out of that.
Greetings to all Irish people from 🇵🇱
How badass is seeing the guy with a musket in each hand….. The gangster of his time.
There are very little depictions of the English occupation and accompanying famine during this era. It’s a downer for a topic so it won’t make anyone who makes a film on it any money. This film lets us at least dip our toe into this period, even though it has to have a bit of the typical action/ revenge angle worked in. Surprised Liam Neeson wasn’t available. A good film.
one of my favourite Irish Movies
How have I never heard of this movie. It looks amazing
Exactly!
I've never seen a lead acting role so well performed with so few lines of dialogue.
First an Aussie plays a Scot, now another Aussie is playing an Irish.
Ya his accent is brutal
How did I miss this. This looks amazing
"I won't be leaving here without you" "Then you won't leave at all" - Such a badass line
James Frecheville is an Australian actor. His surname is pronounced fresh-ville. There are people with the name in both the British Isles and France. He describes his ancestry as Irish and Scottish.
Hugo Weaving is Australian as well.

@@gwenbutler9687 *highly interesting* We speak French in Belgium but my grandparents spoke Gaumais Lorrain (language before the French people in Wallonia) the famine also took a lot of life in my ancestors Nos estans firs di nosse pitite patreye, Ca lådje et lon, on djåze di ses efants.

God bless the Irish. Love from Pakistan.
One of the best movies I ever saw.
The Irish revolution made a big impact on the Indian independence movement so it is fantastic to see it on big screens.
One of the best movies in this genre
the Irish Rambo
Looks good. Anything with Stephen Rea is going to be awesome.
Weaving is always superb. This looks wonderful.
How does he one hand lift those flinklocks? Bloody heavy
A sensational movie!
never see this ! defently worth to lokk this. my grandmother was from irland. :(
Best part is it’s 2024 and I can find this movie as soon as the preview is over
No happiness. No joy. Just revenge.
A fabulous film that doesn't hold back... 🤔
Wonderfull movie , it will deserve a OSCAR!!!!
My great-great-great grandfather was born in County Tyrone, Ireland in 1821, and immigrated here to the United States in the Spring of 1850. That means that he was still in Ireland like exactly as all of this was taking place. The only thing is, he was a Protestant living in the north, so he probably would have had nothing to do with these people!😂 He had graduated from the University of Glasgow in about 1843 or so.
Looks good. Gotta look for this one.
Nice to see Pod Clock in a more serious role.
Where can you see it ? Is it coming to uk cinema or elsewhere ?
Whats the Sean-nós at the very beginning?
Contrarian Libertarian mo ghile mear (my bright darling)
@@Beth-uc7jb beautifully sung by Sarah Greene. Listen to her sing 'The Parting Glass' on KZhead.
This movie is 1000/10
The most dangerous thing In the world is a well trained man that believes he has nothing to lose.
I've never heard of this movie and the trailer was from 5 years ago. It's cool the see a movie about giving the red coats what's what, celtic lads, unite! lol
I love the trailer man, tears
What was the song the woman is singing in the beginning of the trailer?
Mo ghile mear (my gallant hero)
I just finished ✅ the movie was really good 2 👍🏾 🆙
the colonised taking action against the coloniser. love it
Finally "john Wick 1847" straight up gooood
I MUST see this movie...the truth about the heritage of the Irish people under tyrants must be told...this looks like a good start !!
What was the intro song with the girl singing ?
John McWick
That's brilliant mate hahah
Who else got chills when they heard Mo Ghile Mear?
Great film ♥️🇮🇪☘
great movie! very well worth the watch!!
I loved the film !. maybe because it hits too close to home for me ; my Grannie telling me this same story of our family escaping the atrocity that cause all the bother in the first place . even today for the past 100 years Ireland's greatest export besides Guinness and Jameson's ,has been her children . If it wasn't for the navvies after the war the infrastructure would have crippled us in the U.K. . And as we see in this film , The British Ruled a great Empire ,built on the back of the Irish ! Go mbere muid beo ar' an amseo aris !. agus Dia a Beatha go ta'se' pictuir' hiontach !...A great film !
What’s the song at the start?
Excellent film.
0:07 title of the song please.
Outstanding movie
Fkn awesome
WHEWWWW ASTONISHING!!!
Great film.Brings out the old Gael in me
0:20 I'm just glad to see Corncob TV getting in a Coffin Flop cameo! 🌽 💀 ⚰️
This guy would kill John wick with a pencil
They call him BABA EIRE
We dont learn this in no english schools great film we have nothing to be proud of England No more Irish jokes for me.
The average Brit is not well educated...
This just came up on my feed and i thought it was a new film but no it's 5 years old .YT algorithm sucks but at least i wont have to wait to watch it ,
Finally, something interesting. Looks like something Jason Sthatham opted out on.
Sicario 3 would be a great movie. the last 2 were amazing
We're in desperate need of good freedom fighter movies about the underclasses.
Black '47 caused a large portion of my family to come to America.
A story that needed to be told. Those were my ancestors.
Indeed.
Great movie!
Just what I crave, a feel good movie.
a most excellent and powerful film!
I'm certain I've seen this one. Well made, dark, moody, holds you.
When I first saw the title I thought it's gonna be a Hitman movie with black protagonist.
It's a fantastic film and story.
Great film!
movie looks cool and it seems like this is popping up in everyones feeds 5 years later
You know after seeing this film, and Braveheart I'm beginning to dislike the English...
Well the british empire, I dont dislike the modern british
Hard to imagine why it took you so long. There are many other stories just like this, about the English. Consider India. Consider America. Many others
'' beginning'' to dislike the british? What you see in this film is only scratching the surface of what the irish endured under the hands of the British. Only the British did a very good job of hushing it up.
@@RaneBane So did the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italians, Dutch, Belgians, Swedes, Germans, Ottomans, Danes, Omans, Argentines etc...the British just did it better. It was the modus operandi of the time.
🙁
Assolutamente vibrante.
I enjoyed this movie Tremendously. Highly recommend it.
Yep. This one will work for me.
Every empire and civilisation was either conquered or a conqueror. Every last one. The British get a worse wrap because they have a western footprint that easily translates into film. They did a lot of bad, and a lot of good too. To say otherwise is ignorant. I'm of Irish, English, Danish, Scottish, Dutch, French, German and African descent, so I don't choose sides based on how many victim points I can claim. Either way, looks like a good watch this movie.
brilliant. this will be epic! bless
