'71 is a 2014 British historical drama thriller film directed by Yann Demange.1971, during The Troubles. A platoon of British Army recruits is deployed to Belfast to assist the local police in maintaining security and combating the IRA. When a riot breaks out, Pvt. Gary Hook (Jack O'Connell) is separated from his unit. Pursued by IRA gunmen, he quickly gets lost on the streets of Belfast. As he attempts to get back to his barracks, he becomes embroiled in the conflict between Nationalist and Unionist paramilitaries. He soon discovers that the difference between friend and foe is not as simple as the difference between Catholics and Protestants.

Evil Versus Evil
 '71 / int_1645005b
comment
Evil Versus Evil: The OIRA, PIRA, the Catholic rioters, Unionist militias, the RUC and Military Intelligence agitators are all portrayed as extremely callous, corrupt, backstabbing thugs of varying culpability in the violence. Even the British Army only gets away with being merely naive, ineffective and amateurish.

comment
Spiritual Successor: To the 1947 film Odd Man Out, which was about an Irishman Trapped Behind Enemy Lines. This film changes the nationality and the time period, and is more of an action film, but has a similar trajectory and fatalism. Though unlike that film, the main character survives.

Left Hanging: The film ends somewhat abruptly, with the plainclothes agitators performing a Karma Houdini after double-crossing the IRA by striking a deal with the PIRA, while an exceedingly shellshocked Hook takes his knowledge of the bomb in the pub back to England, where he drives into the sunset with his younger brother. This may have been deliberate.

The Artful Dodger: The young boy that happens upon Hook and navigates him through the hostile streets of Belfast is an example. His precocity and ties to the Protestant paramilitaries make him a particularly bold little dude, scolding men twice his age when one makes the mistake of taking him lightly by naming his uncle (apparently a high level member in a paramilitary group).
