As a fan of the historical Michael Collins, I was somewhat underwhelmed by this particularly cinematic interpretation. The film is only mildly engaging.

Arguably set up by Eamon De Valera.

For those who have not read it, I highly recommend the biography by Tim Pat Coogan The Man Who Made Ireland: The Life and Death of Michael Collins.

Also, Collins’ writings about politics and economics are available on Amazon. They make for an interesting read as well.

Did you ever see The Wind That shakes The Barley?
