I hungered for this to be as brilliant as some of the reviews promised and it really disappointed me to discover the reality of this films wasted endeavours. The lead casting as usual for an irish movie was made up of non irish actors which is very sad for Irish talent. Specifically , james frecheville who impressed only because of his ability to imitate the thousand yard stare attributed to veterans of the Vietnam war. This was no Vietnam or even Irish braveheart as has been described in some reviews and this was mainly due to scenes which lacked realism , authenticity, savagery or even just simple blood and guts. Scenes would cut away just as a murder was about to happen , and I guess it was because they just didn't have the creativity or budget to do it well. Cinematography and lighting were very poor also. Locations were abysmally chosen and CGI was very visible in some scenes. There was a distinct lack of character development and it was one of those films where you didn't really care who lived or died. There were lots of little directing errors apparent too , even the simple drinking out of a flask looked fake, the famine victim scenes were poorly staged too. My advice to Irish film makers is if you cant do it right or especially better then just don't do it at all. This film made me sad for all the wrong reasons.

I went to see this expecting it to be the usual anti-English "begod and begorragh" Hollywood nonsense. It pleasantly surprised me. I heard it described as a "potato western" as opposed to a "spaghetti western" and that sort of describes it. A high plains drifter in the rains of Connemara avenging his slain family but with a difference. I wanted to criticise the Irish/ Gaelic used in it....but I couldn't. It was fluid and believable though I felt the lead actor James Frecheville's "Irish" was a bit too "good Dublin school" rather than natural Gaeltacht. What a surprise to learn he isn't Irish at all and that he learned Irish for the part !. Kudos. His accent in English completely fooled me.....I would have sworn he was Irish.....totally amazed to learn he's Australian ! The only bit I can criticise about this film is the "starving" peasentry looked a bit too well fed.....though some of the kids do look scrawny and the safety glass and door handle in the Pub door in the last scene is a bit of a continuity screw up.....other than that it's a stylish film well made and very believable.

This movie depicts just one atrocity committed against the Irish people in a very long occupation. It was atmospherically bleak, as is the material on which it is based. I have known of this horror my entire life and still shudder at the coldness of the British as they blamed the famine on laziness of the Irish, and calmly went about exporting 98% of what the Irish grew - leaving them only the potato. I cannot fault the acting or the story but I would have rather seen an irish actor in the lead. If you care about injustices against a people, you need to see this - just as you need to see "Bitter Harvest" about Stalin's genocide against the Ukrainians. Any movie that leaves you wanting to flesh out the history had done its job.

Feeney (the persuasive, unexpectedly Australian James Frecheville) plays an Irish Ranger who returns from wars in Afghanistan to find his family caught in the cogs of the developing holocaust. Heaving around a head like an Easter Island statue decorated with weeds, Feeney soon encounters even worse outrages and, setting aside ideas of emigration, vows to pursue a war against the administrators and colonialist bandits. This is a must see...

I saw Black 47 in Dublin last evening with my 23 yr old son and we both loved this movie, but in different ways. I thought it was a magnificent piece of movie making -historically and sadly accurate, as well as being an exciting revenge thriller in the style of any great Clint Eastwood western. My son simply loved the action and thrill of the central characters's chase - for him, the famine was just a background to the action. Director Lance Daly and his writers have managed pull off the difficult feat of making a film about the Irish Famine, a universal soldier's lot, and a stubborn individual set on justice for the wronged, that is both resonant, thought provoking -not all the villains are English- and yet completely, absorbingly, thrilling. Even the end feels true to life and nicely ambiguous. Charismatic acting from the leads, the great Hugo Weaving (Hannah) and newcomer James Frecheville (Feeney), gives a throbbing heart to the action, with Freddie Fox I-want-to-smack-his-smug-gob-perfect as a by-the-book arrogant military counterpoint . I am amazed to see Frecheville is actually Australian, his red bearded look and his English /Irish accent are so spot on (a comparative rarity in films set in Ireland :-).... ). His thousand yard stare is right up there with Clint Eastwood's, and his fight scenes are convincingly violent, dirty and nail biting. The bleak Irish land plays a big role in Black 47, well served with beautiful cinematography - many shots look good enough to hang on any wall. Language is used to great effect - showing how it could be a big handicap for the poorest, categorise and divide the social classes and even yield a few sly laughs here and there. The rest of the actors are well cast and deliver authentic performances - notably Stephen Rea playing a jaded professional story teller, guide and sleeveen to a tee and Jim Broadbent (once again) delivering a complex but repulsive portrayal of an English landowner. There is a lot to think about in the film - for example I never really considered that not all parts of the country were equally blighted during the famine - some made out quite nicely thank you very much. So Black 47 is a history lesson wrapt up inside a gripping action move - you can enjoy it either way. I predict this will be a big hit in Ireland.

Went to see Black 47 last night , and a after a slow start the tension and action just built .. Thought it was a brilliant film with great acting ,scenery and very authentic.i couldent believe Feeney the main actor was Australian as his accent and grasp of the Irish language was awesome .. Well done to the director, cast and crew, it's great to see a really good film made in Ireland and about such a sensitive time in Ireland

This piece of the dark history about how the Ireland people was brutally treated by the British is like the Jewish Holocaust that have been repeatedly made into novels and films. My latest viewing of it was the TV series "Highlander" about how the Scotland people were so cruelly treated by the British. This 'Black '47" is one of the best films that I have viewed in late of this year. It's so thoughtful, dark, dreary, atrocious, cruel, bloody and sad; a mixture of unforgetable and undeniable heartless inhuman crime committed by the British Empire and its aristocratic society. The whole film is well scripted, directed and performed by a bunch of A-list actors to support a not quite well known actor, James Frecheville, to play the leading "Fenny" role. There's no romantic moment at all in this film, only the horrible human sufferings. I just felt sad and numb when this film ended, but at the same time, would like to praise its seriousness of making this film.

What an amazing piece of film making on show here. Its essentially a Western set to the back drop of The Irish Potato famine. That this period has never really been depicted before really is sad,as its a time that should never be forgotten. Both the leads in James Frecheville as Feeney,and Hugo Weaving as Hannah are simply masterful. Whilst we may be used to Weaving putting in such a great roll Frecheville is a relative newcomer.But judging from the intensity that he brings to this part he will be around for a long time. This should be required viewing to anybody who studies English history. Bravo.

A very good film bringing the Irish famine back to life on the screen . It really highlighted how the British really meant to exterminate the Irish back then. If your British I recommend you look at this film showing how the British Empire nearly killed the Irish through hunger and destruction of their homes . Very well acted and disturbing but with some whither well.
