The Crying Game

Belfast. Summer dusk. A cricket ball. Kidnapped soldier and his IRA guard: unlikely friends. A promise made. London calls. The guard flees, finds the lover, but old comrades appear, brandishing guns, testing loyalties. Jordan’s sensibility elevates this above standard thriller fare.
