Movie Haiku:Sturgess is terrific in film inspired by Martin McGartland''s autobiography about life as an informer for the British during the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland in the late ''80s. Skogland doesn''t hide any of the horrific violence on both sides, but she excels at depicting the even more heart-breaking emotional consequences.
