Movie Description
DOWNFALL’s Oliver Hirschbiegel directs Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt in this drama about the enduring pain of loss and guilt.

Now an adult, he (Nesbitt) has the opportunity to take vengeance against his brother’s murderer (Neeson), who has never forgiven himself for his past sins.
Industry Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his one triumphs over its limitations by taking the darkness in a dark subject seriously. FIVE MINUTES OF HEAVEN is a film that lingers in the mind as a result..."
Box Office - Ray Greene (08/20/2009)
"[A]n intriguing, what-if take examining both sides of the Northern Irish conflict....It's a tense, evocatively shot and designed time capsule."
Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein (08/28/2009)
"[The film belongs] to the rare class of movies that try to encompass both sides of the conflict....Director Oliver Hirschbiegel films the proceedings with a minimum of fuss..." -- Grade: B
A.V. Club - Sam Adams (08/20/2009)
"A forceful Neeson and an even more intense Nesbitt both show their stuff..." -- Grade: B-
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (09/04/2009)
