Nothing Personal

One dark night in Belfast, 1975. Trapped on the wrong side of the sectarian divide, Liam (Lynch) finds himself at the mercy of a Loyalist paramilitary group, while his young daughter roams the streets looking for him. Confidently mounted by O'Sullivan, working in a very different register from his mainstream feature debut, December Bride, this humanist drama is engaging enough, and very well acted with a tooth-and-nails psycho turn from Ian Hart, but it's too schematic, one of those films where you can read the third act in the first ten minutes.
