FIFTY DEAD MEN WALKING
The Story:
Martin McGartland (Jim Sturgess) is shot in his car in 2001, the story then cuts back to 1988, where a young Martin is running the IRA/British Army gauntlet by selling knock off gear in Catholic areas. He's recruited by the IRA as a driver but, not long after, he's approached by Special Branch 'handler' Fergus (Sir Ben Kinglsey) to tout on the IRA's movements for the British. Convinced he'll save lives (the title refers to the lives saved) if he leaks intelligence to the British, Martin's situation gets ever more precarious as he rises through the ranks of the IRA and lands himself a family with Lara (Natalie Press)
