Five Minutes of Heaven

German director Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall) bounces back from a disastrous detour to Hollywood (The Invasion) with this powerful drama set in Northern Ireland. Two men are haunted and damaged by a tragic event in their youth where one killed the brother of the other in front of him. Twenty-five years later, the men are supposed to meet each other for the first time to confront their traumatic past which will affect their future. A thought provoking and compelling study of guilt and forgiveness with powerful performances by Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
