Nestled in the natural beauty of Donegal, this film blends the perfect mix of drama and action. In the Land of Saints and Sinners is masterfully crafted with a wholly entertaining premise.

As pleasing as it is to encounter Colm Meaney, Niamh Cusack and Jack Gleeson, they form a parade of wasted ideas and characters who needed far more screen time and development.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2024

It's Liam's best movie in a long time.

| Original Score: B | Oct 11, 2024

In The Land of Saints and Sinners has some fine performances and scenery, but it can’t decide on a tone, with awkward results.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 19, 2024

Many great films have tackled the IRA, and though In the Land of Saints and Sinners may not reach their level, it remains a watchable experience.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 24, 2024

One of the finer Liam Neeson vehicles in recent years, for despite a number of familiarities it wisely favours character over action, which digs deeper into their humanity to make for a more empathetic viewing experience.

With three-dimensional protagonists, a melancholic atmosphere, a layered political framework, old Hollywood slow pacing, and beautiful views of Ireland, In the Land of Saints and Sinners stands out above similar fare... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 10, 2024

In the Land of Saints and Sinners offers a dynamic setting and is energised by performances from emerging and veteran talent.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 27, 2024

In the Land of Saints and Sinners delivers a quaint yet captivating storyline. Watching Liam Neeson and Jack Gleeson bounce off each other is a true highlight, making for an engaging experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 27, 2024

In the Land of Saints and Sinners makes for an entertaining Irish-flavoured Western. However, its disappointing lack of depth and toned-down climax prevent it from becoming a truly great genre piece.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 30, 2024

Like Brad Pitt’s line in 'The Devil’s Own': 'It's not an American story—it's an Irish one,' 'Saints and Sinners' features an all-Irish cast doing IRA things.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 27, 2024

It’s a good laugh overall, and one of big Liam’s better action vehicles.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 26, 2024

As such, there’s a find-and-replace quality to aspects of the writing... But such stock roles are geed up by performances that are stronger than they had to be.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 26, 2024

Neeson is as sturdy as ever in a role Clint Eastwood might have played 20 years ago and a few thousand miles away. And Condon excels, giving a stock character a shudder of intensity and three dimensions.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2024

There’s bits and pieces of entertaining stuff here, a few sharp lines and a gonzo final shootout, but the overall tone of cliche is a bit wearing...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 25, 2024

A solid, old-fashioned Irish Western about what it means to hang up your rifle. It isn’t especially deep, but it’s good to see Liam Neeson find some character depth among the usual shooting and grumbling.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 24, 2024

With plenty of meat for its fine cast to chew on, the film is often intense but never loses its nuance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 8, 2024
