FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/in-the-land-of-saints-and-sinners-venice-film-festival-review-barely-good-enough/ "In the Land of Saints and Sinners utilizes the stunning Irish landscape, a remarkably immersive score, and excellent performances to elevate a formulaic, predictable, thematically shallow narrative. Robert Lorenz doesn't try to make his movie more of what it truly is, relying on simple, direct, fast-paced entertainment value to satisfy most audiences. It won't impress anyone, but it's also not in a position to generate mass disappointment. In the end, it turned out to be surprisingly better than expected." Rating: B-
Great cast! Great movie! <em>'In the Land of Saints and Sinners'</em> is a film I enjoyed, in fact I don't have any complaints with it at all. It features a very interesting story, one that left me engrossed from beginning to end. The tension is built well, while it's easy to care about the characters that appear. It's also wonderfully shot and holds a lovely score. Liam Neeson puts in a top performance, he is undoubtedly a terrific actor. He is matched onscreen by Kerry Condon, who portrays her character tremendously. Many a familar face appear elsewhere, most notably Ciarán Hinds and Colm Meaney. Good, too, to see Jack Gleeson, who I thought retired after his stint on television but he is seemingly back in the game - and rightly so, a very talented actor. Undoubtedly worth your time. I'd more than happily revisit this one.
