Dublin, 1920. Gypo Nolan, strong but none too bright, has been ousted from the rebel organization and is starving.

In the course of one gloomy, foggy night, guilt and retribution inexorably close in...—Rod Crawford



Short Review

McLaglen is perfect in the lead - a mountainous, uncontrollable ruffian - in a destructive (and self-destructive), chaotic, downward spiral.
