Kari Skogland’s “50 Dead Men Walking ” is a film we had on our radar at TIFF, but missed it. Based on the a true-life story of a British police recruit who infiltrates the IRA, the film stars Jim Sturgess, Sir Ben Kingsley and Rose McGowan. IMDB calls it an action thriller, but what do they know? McGowan caused a major controversy in the U.K. by claiming she would have been part of the IRA had she grown up in Belfast during those troubled times. Is it any good? Who know, but here’s the trailer. What do you think?
