The Big Picture Are you a person who complains on Twitter that not enough mid-budget, story-driven films starring real, classically trained actors get made anymore? Or maybe you were a big fan of 2022's The Banshees of Inisherin because of its intoxicating accents and lush Irish landscapes, but thought Martin McDonagh's morality play got a little too weird once the donkey died? If your answer is yes to one or both of these questions then, boy, do I have the movie for you.
Release Date March 29, 2024 Director Robert Lorenz Cast Liam Neeson , Ciarán Hinds , Kerry Condon , Jack Gleeson Main Genre Thriller What is 'In the Land of Saints and Sinners' About? Close In 1974, four IRA gang members led by Doireann blow up a bar, accidentally killing a couple of kids and revealing themselves in the process, which sends them fleeing to a small village in the North Irish countryside.
But it may not surprise you that the film's true standout is Condon, who's making it tough to not just want to put her in all the movies. Just like in The Banshees of Inisherin, she does a lot with what's really a supporting role, turning in a performance that's fierce, complex, a bit terrifying, and riveting for every single second she's on screen. Without Condon, Saints and Sinners would be a solid enough watch.
Ultimately, Saints and Sinners feels like a bit of a throwback. The movie relies on classic, screw-turning conventions rather than any type of high concept and then peppers the whole thing with a multitude of interesting, lived-in characters. Again, it's not a non-stop actioner with a high body count, so Neeson fans hoping for the next one of those may not find quite what they're looking for here.
