Five Minutes of Heaven (2009) starring Liam Neeson, James Nesbitt. This is another one of those DVDs which make you sit through 15 minutes of previews of coming attractions before you actually get to the movie. It's very irritating, even if you like previews, which I do. But on to the film: Neeson and Nesbitt play two men who were once on opposite sides of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Alistair Little (Neeson) is a killer, Joe Griffin (Nesbitt), is the brother of the man he killed. Long after the conflict is over, the two are set to meet as part of the reconciliation process. But Griffin is not after reconciliation -- he seeks revenge. The climactic confrontation is fairly satisfying. I was thankful for the subtitles -- everyone in the movie speaks with a heavy Irish accent. Grade: B
