In the 1980s when the Irish civil conflict was at its most treacherous, 22 year old Martin McGartland was recruited by the British police to infiltrate and spy on the IRA. He lived his life under constant threat of exposure and subsequent guaranteed torture and death yet he continued because his information saved many lives. He enjoyed the buzz until one day he was discovered and had to escape against all odds. Inspired by a true story, to this day he is on the run. (Plot Summary from IMDB).

Kingsley's character: Martin McGartland.

This film is scheduled to be released in the United Kingdom in October, 2008.

I hope the film will be as good as the title sounds.

Yes, me too. I can't believe it's opened already.

I can't see where the "controversy" lies, to be honest. There is always objection when one tells a story in a way that shows you the whole picture, and that's not just in films. Compared with the objections raised against The Love Guru, I wouldn't call it controversial at all...sorry... Interesting reading though.
