One of the more absorbing and riveting portraits of The Troubles since 1993's In the Name of the Father.

Skogland is a crisp and efficient storyteller. She keeps the players vivid and relatively honest, and never shies away from the brutalities.

Although the ranks of great IRA films are swelling rapidly this combination of political history and mystery suspense masterwork is one of the best.

What makes Fifty Dead Men work is the story's sheer moral complexity, which dares viewers to sympathize with anyone onscreen for more than a few minutes at a time.

An action-packed historical Irish thriller.

Jim Sturgess makes a believable cocky lad who signs on for the con; an oddly bewigged Ben Kingsley is fussier and too actorly as his handler.

A 'war on terror' thriller set in Ireland? Surprisingly, it works.
August 21, 2009
Sturgess is solid and Kingsley predictably sneaky, but the atmosphere -- scurries through the Catholic/Protestant border, tense stand-offs, spontaneous riots -- is what's genuinely gripping.
July 14, 2011
Fifty Dead Men Walking is a largely uninvolving crime thriller that fails to do justice to the intriguing story of an informant within the IRA.

Fifty Dead Men Walking provides another example of what happens when mediocre moviemaking meets an interesting life.
